**I help classical musicians elevate their musicianship skills to the next level** I teach music theory that makes sense and becomes a powerful tool, not a boring drill. My students are music teachers, professional musicians, university students, and avid amateurs. My program is focused on essential harmonic formulas and patterns in classical music. You will learn about Romanesca, Monte, Tied Bass, Cascade, and so on. Learning the patterns improves your ear skills, makes sight reading and memorisation easier, influences your performance, and change the way you listen to music. If you've studied music theory but have never heard these names, that's perfectly fine. This method is relatively new, although it is based on traditions of music education from past eras. These lessons are far from boring and tedious written drills in music theory that you might be familiar with from exams and textbooks. I believe that music theory should be as practical and hands-on as possible. Imagine learning a foreign language by only doing written "fill in the blank" exercises. Could you have a chat with a native speaker after such exercises? **What do I offer?** - learning platform with short and concise textual lessons, various exercises, and tests; - weekly 45 min Zoom calls to discuss your questions and progress; - homework assignments with my written feedback. **This program is suitable for:** ✅ Musicians of any instrument (or voice), specialising in classical music; ✅ those who have studied music theory, but their skills are a bit rusty, and they want to refresh and deepen them; ✅ those who feel a bit stuck and insecure when explaining the harmony and form of a new piece to their students; ✅ those who are looking for a way to develop their musical ear on a regular basis. ✅ those who would like to compose music in the style of the old masters. **This program is not recommended for:** ❌ Those aiming to pass ABRSM, AMEB, or other exam boards. I'm not against exams, but I recommend following them only if you absolutely need to provide formal results. ❌ Those playing contemporary, jazz, pop music. The primary harmonic patterns, as well as examples, are mainly drawn from the music of composers from the 18th and 19th centuries. ❌ Complete beginners, as it will take a lot of time and lead to significant frustration along the way. You don't have to finish a conservatory course to go through this program. However, here's what it's advisable to know and be able to do: - Read notes in treble and bass clefs. - Know scales up to 3-4 sharps or flats. - Understand the structure of the major scale and the three types of minor scales. - Build intervals within an octave. - Hum a scale. The process of developing musicality doesn't happen quickly. It's a long and challenging journey, but if you play music, you know what I mean. I'm not going to lie that in 30 days I will help you reach a whole new level of the musicianship. But I show you the path, I can take you by the hand, and get you covered with every question that may arise along the journey. **About me** My name is Olga, and I am a music theory specialist. In 2012, I earned a PhD in Musicology in Russia. Currently living in Adelaide, Australia, I share my passion for music theory with students around the world. My mission is to help musicians skyrocket their musical skills and make music theory meaningful for them.

Trusted teacher: I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard. My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instill a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student. Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you. A bit about me: Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.

Mary has been great in our interactions. At the moment, we are meeting twice a week for an hour each session. She started with a class in which we got to know each other and she listen to my goals. Then, she prepared exercises and lessons specially designed to help me reach those goals with practice and also prepared lessons to help me continue growing as a guitar player. Moreover, she goes often out of her way to get songs challenging to my level, but that are doable with enough practice. In all, I am enjoying quite a lot of our classes and I am always looking forward to them.

Stephen's lesson on harmony was just what I needed! I had a few specific questions to brush up on, and he explained everything super clearly and in a way that made it easy to apply to my work. He's knowledgeable and approachable—I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of music theory! Or if you're like me and need a quick refresh of all the things you forgot years ago from school 😅

Marloes does an excellent job of understanding the student's needs and goals. Always attentive during the lessons, she provides clear/targeted feedback on areas of improvement and actively listens to your singing. Most importantly, she creates a comfortable/safe environment to experiment with your voice. As a beginner in singing, I highly recommend anyone who wants to get started singing to take lessons with her!
