Beginner Music Theory 
July 6th - August 29th
​Tuesdays at 4:00-5:00 PM CST / 5:00-6:00 PM EST
$450 for the 12-week term
Instructor - Natalie Frakes


Buzz through music theory fundamentals with fun music games, activities, and music apps. We’ll work through one concept at a time so students can build music theory mastery, build rapid response and connect the dots between theory and music making. Focus will be on music theory basics — music staff, rhythms and time signatures, note identification, major scales and key signatures, common terms and signs. This class is recommended for beginners who have just started on their instrument or have been working in Suzuki Book 1.

​My son's love for music was deepened through the Hyde Park Suzuki Institute program! He was nurtured with loving and patient teachers who encouraged and motivated him. This is a highly recommended Institute and the director's vision for her students is simply Amazing! Also the parents are very supportive to one another as well as to each other's children...such an AWESOME village for thriving children!
