About The Courses
Resonance School offers a comprehensive music education program that mimics a college course of study. This course is designed to make the student musically literate by examining the language of music and setting it in a historical context.
Students take courses in Music Theory, Composition, and Music History alongside their weekly lessons, designed to follow the structure of top music schools. The program is perfect for those interested in pursuing a career in music and offers extensive education on music theory, techniques, and applying them to each student’s instrument of study.
The online theory classes provide a top-tier training in music theory, history, and composition for instrumentalists and vocalists seeking a professional career in the arts. There’s no time limit to complete the program, and each course is taught by a faculty member. Private help is also available through LIVE video conference with our in-house music theorist.
