Group Music Theory Lessons
For all musicians...
At Lion Academy, we believe music theory should be engaging, practical, and deeply enriching.
Our weekly Group Theory Clubs are designed to give students a solid foundation in music literacy, a deeper understanding of musical structure, and the tools they need to grow into confident, creative musicians.
These classes are the perfect way to supplement private instrumental lessons, providing a focused and cost-effective environment to develop essential skills beyond the instrument.
Our theory classes are primarily based on the ABRSM Music Theory syllabus, with the aim of preparing students for graded theory exams. However, we don’t stop there.
We also incorporate elements from the Rockschool and Trinity College syllabuses, creating a comprehensive and modern theory education.
