  • Ideally students have access to an instrument such as a piano and guitar. It helps enormously to learn music theory with a reference instrument.
  • Students should know that a "half step" is the distance between one note and the very next adjacent note. The distance between an "C" and an "C#" is one half step. A "whole step" is equal to two half steps
