DipABRSM for piano performance. Teaching students include individuals, small classes, ages from kindergarten to adults, with experience in teaching different types of students. The dormitory is close to the urban area, and it is convenient to travel to different areas for teaching and classes. Class time is flexible, try to cooperate as much as possible. It is not limited to exams, but the teaching of music. With the popularization of the piano, in addition to becoming a "must learn" instrument for primary and secondary school students, many people feel that the piano is too ordinary, and ignore its beauty and the musical concept behind it. Hope It is possible to preserve "music" in this era of the proliferation of musical instruments and tutoring.

    Be patient and attentive to children. Give the kids lots of encouragement! My daughter has learned singing from Miss Ho for more than two years and is very interested in singing. Although she is very shy, singing performances allow her to break through herself.

    Types of Music Theory Courses – Beginner Music Theory / ABRSM Grade 1–5 Prep / Advanced Harmony & Analysis / Diploma Music Theory / Online Zoom Classes / Sight-Reading & Aural Integration

    Music theory is the foundation of all musical understanding. From reading scores and composing melodies to passing grade exams, theory helps musicians of all levels deepen their skills and communicate effectively. In Hong Kong, music theory courses are essential for students preparing for ABRSM or university applications, as well as self-taught musicians looking to advance their craft.

    Need a Music Theory Tutor or Class?

    Toby connects you with vetted music teachers who offer structured lessons tailored to your level—whether you're learning basic notation or tackling advanced harmony and counterpoint. Lessons are available in-person or online, with options for private, group, or exam-focused sessions.

    Want to Know the Cost of Music Theory Courses?

    Pricing depends on the tutor’s experience, lesson duration, and whether the course includes ABRSM prep or personalized feedback.

    Typical music theory course pricing in Hong Kong includes:

    • Beginner group theory class: HKD $200 – $350 per session
    • Private 1-on-1 music theory tutoring: HKD $400 – $650 per hour

    What Do Music Theory Lessons Cover?

    Beginner theory covers pitch names, note values, rhythm, time signatures, and basic scales. Intermediate students progress to intervals, key signatures, chord construction, and transposition. Advanced learners study harmony, modulation, form, and stylistic analysis. Tutors also provide ear training and sight-reading support for comprehensive understanding.

    Why Choose Music Theory Instructors from Toby?

    All tutors on Toby are identity-verified and reviewed by past students. Many have formal qualifications in music education and performance, with experience teaching ABRSM, Trinity, and diploma-level students. You can compare instructor backgrounds, lesson styles, and reviews before booking.

    How Long Does It Take to Learn Music Theory?

    Most students need around 2–4 months to complete ABRSM Grade 5 theory, depending on lesson frequency and homework commitment. Advanced theory study for diplomas or university entrance may take 6–12 months or longer. Tutors often provide progress tracking and practice assignments to support your pace.

    Why Are Some Music Theory Courses More Expensive?

    Higher prices often reflect tutors with conservatory backgrounds, specialized curriculum, or bundled exam support. Some courses include custom materials, mock tests, or integrated performance coaching.

    How to Choose the Right Music Theory Tutor?

    Look for a tutor who understands your musical goals—whether you're a casual learner, preparing for ABRSM exams, or studying music professionally. On Toby, you can explore detailed tutor profiles, preferred levels, and available formats. Trial sessions may be offered to help you decide.

    Why Learn Music Theory with a Professional?

    While books and videos can help, structured lessons offer clearer explanations, accountability, and personalized feedback. A professional helps you avoid confusion, builds a strong foundation, and ensures you're exam-ready or performance-ready—depending on your goals.

    Do I need to know an instrument to study music theory?

    No. Theory can be learned without playing an instrument, though having one helps reinforce concepts.

    Is ABRSM theory still required for Grade 6+ practical exams?

    Yes. ABRSM requires Grade 5 Theory (or equivalent) to progress beyond Grade 5 in practical exams.
