What will the courses cover?
Beginner Music course
In the Beginner Music course, you will learn about rhythm and note names (using a piano as guidance). Simple terminology will be covered, and dynamics discussed (how loud you play). You will learn what a bar is, and recognising if a bar contains three or four counts (beats).
Basic Music Theory course
In the Basic Music Theory course, you will learn about the construction of the musical scale, intervals (tone, semitones etc.), metre (3/4, 4/4, 6/8 etc.), major and minor triads, chords, and cadences, among other things. The course will have regular recap points to check you have understood everything along the way, and a test at the end, designed to flag up your strengths and weaknesses so you know what to focus on when studying further.
