Nothing short of inspiring

Christine, experienced piano teacher

When the pandemic started, teaching my students remotely posed new challenges. I decided to sign up with The Monument's online lessons to enhance my teaching skills. My experience was nothing short of inspiring. Aside from the attractive visuals, Kenneth's lessons are clearly structured and properly paced, so that it is easy for students to digest. The assignments are a tremendous help in reinforcing what was taught. You can tell that Kenneth and his team are genuine, dedicated people who have your best learning interests at heart. A highly recommended learning experience for all!

Better equipped to teach

Dave, music school owner

Thank you so much for the theory courses. They have helped me and my colleagues to be better equipped to teach my students, and that has shown in their results with much improvement from the past. You've been a great teacher and I've truly enjoyed the course.

Never a dull moment

Phyllis, young music teacher

It is never a dull moment learning theory with Kenneth. His well prepared and detailed approach to each topic is highly commendable. I am also intrigued with his effort to introduce audio tracks alongside music scores to enhance a particular topic. I have gleaned much during this course and have already enrolled myself for the next grade. His teaching has inspired me to want to scale new heights in my music career!

Easy to understand

Jason, 15-year-old student

I never thought that I will continue with ABRSM music theory after I have stopped my music lessons for almost 2 years. The online course has been helpful for me, especially when it was not safe to have physical lessons. I was afraid that I cannot cope with the syllabus before I signed up for the course, but the lessons are well prepared and the slide and worksheets are easy to understand. No regrets for enrolling into this course and I encourage everyone, including those that are apprehensive about it, to give the courses are try.

"But learning higher grade music theory is so difficult!"

We get it, and we agree. Here are 3 reasons why.

  • You're learning using a traditional, outdated model that can be dull and boring. If you've ever wondered, "What's the point of learning this?", you probably need a different approach.

  • Most books out there can be too wordy and difficult to digest. Don't you wish someone can explain it to you in plain English, one step at a time?

  • Workbooks can be confusing, and you find yourself uncertain of how to answer or mark them. This is why we decided to provide annotated answer sheets to all our worksheets.

We've spent the past few years building this online course to do one thing:

FAQ

Still not sure about it? No worries, get your doubts cleared here.

  • Will this course be too hard if I've never learned or taught ABRSM theory before?

    If you're completely new to this, don't worry. This course will teach you everything you need to know to become a music theory pro.

  • Will this course make me better at teaching if I already have some experience?

    Absolutely. Some experienced music teachers that have been teaching for years describe this course as an 'inspiring and eye-opening experience'.

  • Does the course include any exercises?

    Yes. All sessions come with downloadable worksheets that you can test yourself with. What's better is that you can cross-check your answers with our answer sheets, something that most books don't provide.

  • What is available to me as soon as I sign up?

    You'll immediately have access to 18 sessions of content, including step-by-step videos, quizzes, self-reflection modules, and downloadable worksheets, answer sheets and Mindmaps. Seriously, can it get any better?

  • If I have questions regarding music theory, is there someone I can contact?

    Yes, you have several ways of getting your questions answered. You can freely ask questions in our closed forum group, or directly email one of our teachers to get help. You could also use the discussion tab in the course to get help.

  • What if I get busy and fall behind?

    Ideally, you'll never fall behind. Our courses are designed in an engaging way that motivates you to go on. You're also welcome to jump to sessions of interest or skip those that aren't relevant to your level. If you really do fall behind, this course comes with lifetime access, so you can come back whenever you're ready.

  • What are the differences between the complete course and the exam essentials?

    Complete courses provide a more comprehensive view of the syllabus as the videos go through not only exam questions, but also all of the learning components expected at a certain level. We recommend complete courses for new learners or experienced teachers who want to take their teaching to the next level. Exam essentials offer a shorter, intensive route where you can quickly review only the important points expected at a certain level. This means they will be more exam-centric, and feature lessons teaching you how to answer exam questions only. We recommend the exam essentials for learners who have studied the syllabus but want a quick revision for their exam.

  • What if I signed up and found that the course isn't suitable for me?

    That is highly unlikely, as we have a track record of excellent customer satisfaction. However, if you really found that the course isn't for you, we have a 14-day risk-free refund policy, no questions asked.
