Western Music Lessons for School Students

If School Western Music feels difficult, we can help you find the topics you need to practise. These may include reading notes, rhythm, theory, listening, music history or answering exam questions.

One student came from an Eastern Music background and had only recently started Western Music. Her marks were in the 30s; after strengthening Western Music foundations, her marks improved to 89.
