Unlock your creativity…
At Beatbox we think the ability to understand music goes hand in hand with learning an instrument. We’re big on learning to read music, and encourage our students to develop an appreciation for the mechanics and structure of music too.
We feel that knowing the theory and the technicalities of music can help to unlock creativity and also gives you the ability to clearly communicate and articulate your ideas to those you play music with – in particular to band mates!
Turning your vision into music
An appreciation for musical theory is often so important to the successful progression of a band from garage to pub to playing gigs… likewise from one that just plays covers to a band that plays and records original material.
You will learn how to compose and write your own songs, and how to transfer music from your imagination into music that you and your band mates can play together.
Lessons cover all aspects of music theory including:
Reading and writing music notation
Rhythms, note values and time signatures
Scales, chords and key signatures
Transcribing for your instrument and other instruments
Transposition
Music terminology
We are also able to offer help and support with music theory syllabuses and graded exams for LCM, ABRSM and Trinity exam boards.
