Music theory course online, taught live
Nathaniel School of Music teaches music theory and ear training online, live on Zoom, as part of the Music Method. Jason Zac, the school's founder, teaches the theory, ear-training and Music Gym classes himself.
Every class is recorded and appears in your Learning Portal about ten minutes after it ends, together with notes and homework, so you can join from anywhere in the world and rewatch anything you missed. Theory is taught alongside your piano, guitar or singing, so what you learn in theory class shows up straight away on your instrument.
