Course overview

Music Theory 2 Course

This course is designed for anyone who would like to study how Western music works and who has become comfortable with the notation concepts we learned in Music Theory 1, our music literacy course. Some of the topics we’ll cover include interval size, interval qualities like major, minor, perfect, diminished, and augmented, the different kinds of major and minor scales, and analyzing and writing the different kinds of triads you’ll encounter in Western music!

Learning to identify intervals quickly will help a huge amount in your sight-reading on your instrument, and especially if you are a singer, it will allow you to find your pitches much more easily and will speed up music learning in almost every instrument you might want to study. Guitarists and pianists, in particular, will benefit from learning triads, which will make sight-reading and composing much more efficient.

Liberty Park Music (LPM) is an online music school. We teach music through videos and supporting materials like homework assignments and backing tracks. Currently, we offer lessons on piano, guitar, drums, and music theory. We will introduce more instruments, subjects, and services in the future to give you even more choices.

All you need is a computer or a mobile device that allows web browsing. With a reasonably stable and fast internet connection, your viewing experience is optimized on your desktops, laptops, or tablets.

We are constantly producing and publishing new lessons, about one new module each month, for every instrument and subject.  So you always have new materials to work on. 

Your membership, regardless of of your plan, should give you access to the entire library of lessons. That means ALL lessons are available to you, across instruments, styles, levels, and subjects. For example, you can take piano and theory lessons at the same time, or if you have a good musical appetite, take our piano and drum kit lessons at the same time! It's your choice.

Yes. Learning music online may seem novel to you, but if we can learn a language and other skills online, why not music? Online music lessons allow you to learn on your schedule, in the comfort of any locale of your choice, and at your own pace. You can pause when you need a moment to digest the lesson or rewind to view a particular section again.
