Music Theory lessons and teachers

22 UK tutors who teach Music Theory. £15–£72/hr · median £40

Music Theory in UK exam terms means ABRSM Music Theory (dominant). Trinity also offers Theory of Music. The ladder runs Grades 1-8, with ABRSM Grade 5 Theory the hard prerequisite to book any ABRSM Practical or Performance Grade 6-8 (Practical Musicianship Grade 5 and Grade 5 Jazz are accepted alternatives). Grades 1-5 are online on-demand via webcam, marked out of 75 (50 pass, 60 merit, 65 distinction), and have been the steady-state format since August 2020. Grades 6-8 remain paper-based on set dates and add score analysis, harmonisation and melodic composition. Tutoring helps most with Grade 5 prep specifically (the prereq binds tightly and creates most theory-tuition demand). Grades 6-8 are a smaller and more specialist teaching pool because harmonisation, figured bass and score analysis are a different skillset. GCSE and A-level Music test theory in their own components, under different boards with different conventions.
