Practice, practice, practice.
Learning music is like learning a new language. You need a good teacher to show you the ropes, but you also need to practice what you're learning -- a lot -- before it will feel natural and easy.

The drills on this website are more fun than writing in answers on paper, or doing problems in a book. Plus, you know right away if you get one wrong (and sometimes you can get a hint).

Does it cost anything?
Nope. The drills are free -- all you need is an internet connection -- so anyone learning music can come here to sharpen their skills.

What if I don't have a teacher?
If you don't have a teacher, there are a lot of good sites on the internet where you can learn the basics. There are also some good books that can help.

Here is a list of links to helpful resources for learning music theory.

You can also visit our discussion forum to talk theory with other students, musicians, and teachers.

Many of our subscribers are school teachers and professors (and don't offer private lessons), but we are also considering building a directory of private teachers by area who already know about eMusicTheory.com and may be available to work with you.
