THEORY / MUSICIANSHIP CLASSES

CMS provides theory/musicianship classes for the beginner to the advanced level student. Even though music theory is discussed to a certain degree in the student's private lesson, taking a theory/musicianship class enables the student to increase their musical knowledge and allows the private teacher to devote valuable lesson time to repertoire and technique.

The eight-level theory curriculum used by CMS is based on the Associated Board of Royal Schools for Music curriculum and uses the Music Theory in Practice text by Eric Taylor.  A placement exam is given prior to registration to determine which level of the curriculum is the most aprropriate.

Students enrolled in a year-long music theory class are automatically enrolled in the Music Certificate Program. Enrollment in each class is for the full 36-week academic year.  Classes meet for 45-minutes weekly.
