A little music theory is also part of making music. Whether at the very beginning of learning an instrument or when you already know how to read music: theory forms the basis for flexible music-making and an understanding of musical relationships. Reading music and harmony are only the first exciting elements of the universe of music theory.
Do I really need music theory? You often learn many theoretical basics intuitively on your favourite instrument or during singing lessons. But sometimes it helps to take a closer look. Our experienced theory teachers at our music school in Leipzig will help you with this. Whether it's the basics of reading music so that you can rehearse your favourite pieces of music yourself in the future or whether you have very specific questions about pieces of music - with lessons tailored to your needs, you will make rapid progress with our theory teachers.

What inspires me about music
From a purely theoretical point of view, music is a system that connects different vibrations in the air in a time frame. But it allows all feelings and thoughts to be conveyed directly, which could not even be expressed with the words of a spoken language. For me, this is the most beautiful puzzle in life.
My favourite artist/band
- Johann Sebastian Bach
What drives me as a music teacher
For me, teaching is the unique task of bringing my students closer to the wonderful art of music.
