Beginner's Guide: Understanding Music Theory
Music Theory can be a recognized term to describe a deeper understanding of the components to composing or songwriting, but in our everyday it can catapult us to having a firm foundation and broader love of the music we listen to, genres that defy barriers, and styles that invoke new feelings.
I'm Margot. As a teacher of 19 years, I aim to explain music theory to my students both private lessons and in the schools who might be new to music theory or perhaps just need a refresher course. This is both!
In this class you will learn about:
The basics of music theory
- Keys- Black or White
- Major or Minor Chords (Happy or Sad)
- Left and Right Hand Placement
- Songwriting basics/development
- Root Notes
- C Major Scale
- Chords
- Chord progressions ( I, IV, V )
- 7ths, 9ths, and 11th Chords (Oh my!)
- Ear Training exercises
- Intervals
- Chromatic Scales Exercises
By the end of this course, you'll have an excellent understanding of how to use and apply music theory concepts and terms confidently write amazing music.

Practice Tips
The only way to learn something and get good at it is to stay focused on your own personal goals. My class is designed to watch and utilize a 10, 15, and even a 5 minute video that helps you grow and play more.
Piano can be fun and I'm here to make sure we have a good time learning some core skills that will make some excellent pianists and keyboardists!!
I'm here to walk you through some deemed tough terms and definitions of music theory. Specially, in any order that you feel will make you grow as a musician and as a musician.
As you see, this is a beginner piano course with some AWESOME fundamental exercises that tip onto intermediate music theory and composition. All of my classes are designed for YOU. Whether you have never sat down at a piano or are looking to refresh some music theory. We apply music theory to dexterity exercises and examples for a hands on approach.
I offer my course on a strength-based approach. However, I still look forward to hearing from my students and find NEW and FUN way to approach music theory differently.
On that note, please take the time to practice and review the concepts and classes and then submit a video clip of what you have learned by using the instructions for the Projects.
Thanks for checking out my course

Project Instructions
First Project
Write and record a song idea. It could be any genre, any length, it could even be just a nice chord progression of I, IV, V ( 1, 4 ,5) if you like.
Upload the track into the class project and let’s inspire each other. I'll be listening and responding to every submission!
You can upload privately to Youtube or Soundcloud (or publicly if you're feeling brave) then share that link here.
Excited to hear what you come up with!
Second Project:
Share your musical masterpiece!
Whether you decide to complete the First Project (See above) or create your own story, melody, or harmony, share what you’ve created! Wherever you are in the composition process, use the project gallery to share, listen, learn, and collaborate.
As you play through class, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- To share, upload your audio or video file to YouTube, Vimeo, or Soundcloud and include the link in your project.
- You will need:
- Personal Phone to record voice note; or
- Garageband or simple recording software to record your idea prior to uploading here - When it comes to composing music, there aren't any rules, so stay true to yourself and focus on having fun as you learn.
- When in doubt, remember: sharing your unique perspective with the world is the most important part of writing music.
