Step one is the consultation process. Take a trial class with the teacher to determine the level of knowledge and the student’s musical acumen. This first step is important to determine if it is realistic to register the student to the next ABRSM Grade 5 exam date.
Establish Effective Learning Plan
Step 2 is to establish an effective learning plan and schedule the appropriate time for your child to acquire the requisite knowledge. Lessons include aural training and practical examples connecting the theory to the instrument. Finally, mock exams are given to determine the readiness of the student.

What our Students and Parents Say
recommends Ms Germaine helped both my sons prepare for grade 5 theory exams, where they scored distinctions. Thereafter, she taught my older boy piano, and he just recently obtained a Merit grade for ABRSM grade 8 exam, despite a demanding academic schedule. She is currently teaching my younger son (who plays violin) aural, sight reading, and grade 6 theory. He enjoys his weekly lessons, and looks forward to them. Ms Germaine is a very knowledgeable, experienced and caring teacher, who is passionate about building up a good musical foundation in her students. If you're looking for a teacher for music theory, aural, sight reading and piano, we highly recommend her.recommends Meredith started her music theory lessons with Mrs Ho in September and she looks forward to the lessons each time. While her instrument is the violin, Mrs Ho is able to bring alive the knowledge of music theory with the importance of enjoying the musical journey and instrument. Her lessons are integrated with the child’s pace of learning, and Meredith knows that she is able to ask questions comfortably. Mrs Ho was also able to observe that a larger print of the sight-reading scales book might benefit our child better and indeed it has. We are thankful for Mrs Ho’s patience and keen interest in developing our child’s musical appreciation, not just from the mind but also from the heart.recommends Mrs Ho is a patient and encouraging teacher. She explains clearly and has reasonably high expectations of her students. She also keeps parents updated of their child's progress. Within a span of about five months, she prepared my son for Grade 5 theory. This was his first music theory exam and he obtained distinction. We are very grateful for her guidance. 👍recommends Matthew started Theory of Music lessons with Mrs Ho when he was 7 and hasn’t looked back since. It has been an amazing journey for him and he looks forward to his weekly lessons with Mrs Ho who enthuses with her passion and engaging stories about the history of music. In fact, so inspired was he, that he decided, on his own, to take up piano lessons under her tutelage. Kudos to Mrs Ho, for gifting Matt, the joy of learning Music! 🎶recommends Mrs Ho taught both my kids (7 and 10 years old) Grade 5 music theory. I was impressed that she was able to teach Grade 4 and 5 music theory in 2 - 3 months compared to the previous theory teacher that taught Grade 1-3 in 7 months. When she took over the teaching, she was sharp to observe what are the issues my kids was having on music theory and could rectify it. Professional and reliable teacher! Jo
