Music Theory Tutoring FAQ
Music is all around us. We can relax to it by curling up with a pair of headphones, dance with thousands of people at a rock concert, or even catch faint riffs as we walk up and down the aisle of the grocery store. Music theory puts tones together, creating organized sounds. Humans have been making music for thousands of years, first vocally, and then with instruments of their own making.
