Music Theory Classes

The BYU Organ Online Training Sessions for Music Theory have been scheduled for the upcoming season. These webinars are free and open to pianists and organists everywhere. 

These classes provide an opportunity to review important theory concepts with an expert and serve as a springboard for continued study throughout the year.

Each class covers topics from beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels of music theory. Topics are scheduled through February. After the February session, we will invite suggestions for topics to cover during the remaining classes.

Presentations will taught live by Dr. Jacob Hofeling from 7:00-8:30 pm Mountain Time, including a live question-and-answer session. Links to the recording of each class will be available on our website for one month following the live presentation.

Use the buttons at the top of the page for our Entry-Level and Beyond the Basics topics.

We are now taking suggestions for topics to cover in the remaining theory classes.  We invite you to read through the theory topics linked below and submit one for discussion by completing the survey, also linked below. Topics must be submitted no later than two weeks prior to a session.

Presentations offer a pre-recorded video with interactive chat with the instructor, followed by a live Question and Answer session.  Recordings of each class are available to view for one month following the live presentation.
