Here at DS Music we believe that learning music theory is an essential accompaniment to your own playing. Asides from developing your overall musicianship, the simultaneous study of theory and practical playing will develop your understanding of notation systems in western music while giving you a vital understanding of the construction of music, through the use of keys, scales and chords. The study of musical theory will not only better your rhythm but also improve your composition skills- there are so many benefits plus you’ll really see an improvement in your practical playing!
