MUSIC THEORY LESSONS AUSTIN
At Legends Guitar Lessons, we believe that music theory is a fundamental part of understanding and playing music on any instrument. This is why we have developed a comprehensive music theory course that is designed to help our students understand the building blocks of music and how they can be used to create and perform songs on the guitar.
Our music theory course is offered in a flexible format that is designed to meet the needs of our students. Classes can be taken either in-person or online, and are scheduled at a time that is convenient for the student.
Each class is approximately one hour long, and students are encouraged to attend one class per week. This will help them to stay on track and make steady progress towards their goals. Learn more about our Acoustic guitar lessons here and our Electric guitar courses here.

OUR INTRODUCTION TO MUSIC THEORY INCLUDES
Music theory is an essential component of becoming a skilled and knowledgeable musician, and it is a critical aspect of guitar playing. Our music theory course at Legends Guitar Lesson covers all the necessary topics to help you understand the underlying principles of music and how it works.
Introduction to Musical Notation and Symbols:
Music notation is a system of symbols and symbols used to represent the pitches, rhythms, and dynamics of music. In our music theory course, you'll learn how to read sheet music, including the different symbols used to indicate things like volume, tempo, and phrasing. We'll also cover the basics of musical notation, including the staff, bar lines, and time signatures.
Understanding Scales, Key Signatures, and Chord Progressions:
Scales are a sequence of musical notes played in a specific order, and they form the basis for most musical styles. In our course, we'll cover the different types of scales, including major and minor scales, as well as the key signatures that accompany them. You'll also learn about chord progressions, which are sequences of chords that are used in many songs.
Intervals and Chord Construction: Intervals are the distances between two notes, and they play a critical role in how music is created. In our course, we'll explore different intervals and how they're used in chord construction. We'll also cover chord inversions, which are different ways to play the same chord.
Time Signatures, Rhythm, and Syncopation:
Rhythm is the element of music that gives it its beat and structure. In our course, we'll cover time signatures, including common time and cut time, and how they influence rhythm. You'll also learn about syncopation, which is when the rhythm deviates from the expected pattern, and how it's used to create interest and tension in music.
Musical Form and Structure: Musical form is the arrangement of musical ideas into a structured pattern. In our course, you'll learn about different musical forms, including binary form, ternary form, and sonata form, and how they're used in different styles of music.
Harmony and Chord Progressions:
Harmony refers to the combination of different notes and chords used in music. In our course, you'll learn about chord progressions and how they're used to create harmony in music. We'll cover different types of chords, including major and minor chords, as well as more advanced chord progressions.
Analyzing and Transcribing Music:
Transcribing music means figuring out how a piece of music is written by listening to it. In our course, we'll cover the process of transcribing music, including how to identify different chords, scales, and key signatures. You'll also learn how to analyze music and understand its structure, form, and harmony.\
Our music theory course is designed to be comprehensive and challenging, but also accessible and fun. We believe that understanding music theory is a critical part of becoming a skilled musician, and our course is designed to help you achieve that goal. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, you'll find that our course is an excellent way to improve your skills and deepen your understanding of music.
