Music Theory classes at CMCB give our students practical skills and a deeper understanding of the structure of music that they can apply on a daily basis.  Our classes help improve students’ sight-reading skills, enhance their performances and help them to create their own music!

Are you looking to learn how to read, write, and analyze music? Are you looking to boost your musical knowledge? Whether you’re looking to become a better performer, or understand how your favorite music was constructed, music theory can be an excellent tool for making you the best musician you can be. CMCB now offers classes in Music Theory to all adults, designed to cover topics starting from the basics of reading and writing music, to tonal analysis, to understanding the ways that blues, jazz, and pop have changed the ways that musical elements interact with each other.
