Music Theory Classes in Phoenix
The language behind every instrument and voice. Build a solid foundation in reading, harmony, rhythm and ear training — then apply it to guitar, piano, voice, accordion and composition.
Why Study Music Theory?
Music theory is included in all our instrumental and vocal programs and also offered as a dedicated track for students who want to deepen their understanding of structure, improve creative expression and accelerate their progress.
You’ll decode the building blocks of music — scales, intervals, harmony, rhythm and form — learn to listen actively, analyze songs, and apply theory directly to performance, songwriting and arranging. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, a songwriter, performer, band leader or teacher, theory gives you tools to communicate clearly and create with confidence.
