AMEB Exams | Katya Makarova Piano | Musicianship & Theory classes are available for all ages from beginner level students through to advanced level students.

AMEB exams – Musicianship & Theory classes are available.

There are currently three levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced, with space for up to 4 people per class.

Beginner:

No prerequisite theoretical knowledge is necessary for the beginner classes. We will commence with basic music theory, moving onto notating basic rhythms and single melodic lines while also learning how to sight read.

Intermediate:

Basic theoretical knowledge is assumed in the Intermediate classes, as well as the ability to write down a melodic/rhythmic line in simple and compound time. In these classes we will be advancing our knowledge in musical harmony and also learning to notate melodic dictations of several lines.

Advanced:

This class is for those who have a very strong basis in musical theory and have a very developed ability to notate melodies and rhythms. We will be analysing complex harmonic sequences, and learn to resolve them.
