Music Theory Classes in Kandy and Online
Music theory lessons help students understand how music works instead of only memorising answers. Hashini supports beginner theory, pre-grade foundations and graded theory preparation up to advanced levels where suitable for the student's board and syllabus.
Students work on notation, rhythm, scales, keys, intervals, chords, harmony, cadences, musical form and analysis. Theory is taught as a practical skill for performers, singers, pianists, school students and young composers.

Teaching approach
Lessons connect written concepts to sound, playing and listening. Students learn to identify patterns, understand why answers work and apply theory to performance or composition instead of treating it as a separate subject.
Why Hashini's approach is different
Because Hashini teaches performance, singing, composition and production, theory lessons are grounded in how musicians actually use notation, harmony and structure.
What students and parents can expect
Students receive clear explanations, worked examples and practice tasks. Parents can expect theory to be broken into manageable steps rather than rushed exam cramming.
Fee guidance
Lesson fees vary depending on the programme, lesson format, level, duration and frequency. Current fee information is provided after reviewing the student's age, goals and preferred schedule.
