Music theory is the foundation that helps musicians understand the “why” behind the music they play—and at Legato Music Learning, theory is more than worksheets and memorization. It’s about unlocking the language of music in a way that’s clear, personalized, and engaging.

While theory is naturally woven into piano and violin lessons to support students' learning, dedicated theory instruction is also available for those who are focusing solely on music theory.

Charlene offers one-on-one theory lessons for students of all ages and experience levels. Whether you're preparing for an exam, need help with class assignments, or simply want to deepen your understanding of how music works, you’ll receive clear, thoughtful guidance every step of the way.

Topics covered include:

• Basic to Advanced Rudiments

• Ear Training and Sight Reading

• Four-Part Harmony

• Form and Analysis

• Music History and Style Periods

Each lesson is paced to meet the student’s unique learning goals, whether that’s passing an RCM exam, improving school performance, or strengthening the theory that supports their playing.
