Grade Two Music Theory Bootcamp

The LCM Grade 2 Popular Music Theory Bootcamp is a two day workshop held at JJ's Arts Academy. The workshop will be run by Joanna, who has taught theory for over 20 years.

Friday 9th August 10-4pm
Saturday 10th August 10-4pm
Attendance on both days is compulsory

The two day bootcamp will help consolidate, and add to, the theory knowledge gained in lessons and will increase confidence in:

Reading and writing pitch notation – scales, keys, chords and intervals (all treble clef)
Reading and writing rhythmic notation
Basic knowledge of performers, instruments and different genres of contemporary popular music.

During the Music Theory Bootcamp, students will:

Complete at least 20 worksheets
Play interactive games to increase theory knowledge
Complete a MOCK Grade 2 paper

After attending the course, it is essential that 1 practice paper a week is completed. This will take around 40 mins and is to be completed at home. Once handed into reception at JJ's Arts Academy, the paper will be marked and returned with feedback.

The exam will be on Saturday 30th November at 10am. The date and time are non-negotiable as the whole country sits the exam at the same time.

This is a fully accredited course and looking to the future, the theory course goes all the way to Grade 8. Grade 5 is equivalent to a GCSE and Grade 8 is equivalent to an A Level. We have found that students who study this in line with their musical instrument lessons, gain a deeper understanding of music and learn to sight read, improvise and practice their pieces more effectively.
