MODULE BREAKDOWN
Inside the 8-Module Music Theory Journey
MODULE 1 — The Musical Alphabet & Layout of Sound
Welcome to the language of music. In this module, Stacey introduces music theory as the foundation behind everything you play or sing.
MODULE 2 — Rhythm Basics
Rhythm is the heartbeat of music, and this module helps you feel it, not fear it. You’ll learn note values, rests, measures, and how rhythm works inside 4/4 time.
MODULE 3 — Pitch & Scales
Now we add melody to rhythm. In this module, you’ll explore pitch, learn how scales are built, and understand why the major scale sounds the way it does
MODULE 4 —Key Signatures & the Circle of Fifths
This is where music theory starts feeling powerful. You’ll learn how sharps and flats work, how to quickly identify key signatures, and how the Circle of Fifths connects everything together. This module helps you see patterns instead of memorizing random rules.
MODULE 5 — Chords & Harmony
Harmony is where music gets rich and emotional. In this module, you’ll learn how chords are built, how harmony supports melody, and why certain chord progressions show up everywhere.
MODULE 6 —Time Signatures & Meter
Not all rhythm feels the same. In this module, you’ll explore how meter shapes the feel of music, from marches and waltzes to compound meters like 6/8 and 12/8. Through clapping, counting, and piano demos, you’ll learn how time signatures change the entire mood of a piece.
MODULE 7 —Dynamics, Articulation & Expression
This is where music comes alive. In this module, you’ll learn how dynamics, articulation, and tempo transform notes on a page into emotional music. You’ll hear how volume, phrasing, and expression can completely change the feel of even the simplest melody.
MODULE 8 — Reading & Playing Together!
You’ve learned the pieces, now it’s time to put them together. In this final module, you’ll sight-read a simple piece of music using everything you’ve learned. This lesson is about flow, confidence, and connection, not perfection. It’s a celebration of progress.
