I’m thinking of studying music theory. What’s the difference between ABRSM & Trinity College London?
The ABRSM syllabus is more traditional than Trinity. However the early grades for both boards focus on broadly the same areas: notation, scales, keys, time, performance directions, intervals and triads. ABRSM and Trinity are accredited at the same level.
Can I try the resources before I buy?

How much does it cost for One To One lessons?
One to one personal tuition takes place in real-time via the internet. Lessons are usually 30 minutes in duration but can be scheduled for an hour if requested. If you decide to have a course of one to one personal lessons the recurring fee is £15.95. This gives you access to all resources online. If you just require a one-off lesson the fee for 30 minutes is £16.95.
I don’t have a Skype account, can I still have One To One lessons?
If you don’t have a Skype account no problem. Skype can be downloaded for free and takes about 2 minutes to set up. You could however still have one to one lessons without Skype but instead using the sharing tool within the website.
How long does it take to be ready to sit the grade 5 exam?
This depends on many factors. If you are completely new to music theory you will need to spend some time getting to grips with the fundamentals. It’s usual for the more mature student to work at a faster pace. Also, how much time can you spend studying each week. A general rule for an average student would be 6 to 12 months with one personal one to one lesson per week.
I am currently studying the Trinity College London syllabus. Would this website still be useful?
Yes, the two syllabus’s are very similar and most of the resources are interchangeable with each examining body.
I need to pass my grade 5 theory exam as quickly as possible. Should I sign up for One To One lessons or just use the website resources?
If you sign up for one to one lessons you’ll be able to fast track to success in the shortest time possible. Your personal tutor can answer your questions immediately. However if you’re focused you can find all the necessary information within the website resources.
