Theory lessons can complement a student’s instrumental or vocal studies, helping to build an understanding of the music’s structural components or historical influences.

Students sitting instrumental or vocal examinations in higher grades are required to pass theoretical examinations as well.

Students wishing to learn theory can choose to study via a program such as AMEB Theory or Musicianship, or lessons can be tailored to suit interest or needs of the student.

YRC also offers lessons in composition in all styles of music, to support students’ creative aspirations.
