Why Choose Studying Theory?

01

The ability to read from a note sheet

Solfeggio opens an opportunity to professionally play an instrument. Musicians who seek to work in well-known bands or platforms find that one of the top requirements is the ability to read from the note sheet. Additionally, it is very difficult to build a large repertoire without the knowledge of theory. Why memorize thousands of songs if you could master theory in a few months?

02

Can I compose songs?

Many successful musicians who did not pay enough attention to theory lament afterward. The lack of knowledge is especially noticeable when you create a beautiful composition in your mind, however, it cannot be conveyed to others in all subtleties.

03

You will be able to play with musicians around the globe

Music is an international language. Not every musician knows English, however everyone speaks the same language of music theory. Theory will help you communicate with other musicians and compose melodies together.

04

Less rehearsals, more performances

Distance would cease to be an obstacle. Today, hundreds, even thousands of musical groups are scattered all over the world, and do not have the opportunity to meet at a convenient day and rehearse. How do they play? They write music individually – each their own part, sharpen it to shine and then rehearse a day before a performance. Professionals do not rehearse for years, they go on stage and play. In order to reach this level, you need to know solfeggio well.

05

Advanced Hearing

Audition – is the most important development of all musicians and vocalists. The hearing is improved through solfeggio exercises. Knowing the theory of music will help you practice on your own and hear details everyone else is neglecting.

06

Expansion of consciousness

The theory of music accelerates brain activity alike mathematics. Music is one of the few practices that incorporate both hemispheres of the brain and uses them as a whole. The practice of solfeggio will improve your brain functions, such as memory, problem solving, creativity and more.
