Music theory helps students understand how music works and why it sounds the way it does. At Dio Piano School in West Vancouver, we offer clear RCM music theory lessons for students of all ages. Our lessons help beginner, intermediate and advanced students, kids and adults learn to read music, recognize patterns, and build a strong musical foundation.

Our curriculum follows the RCM Theory Syllabus, guiding students from the fundamentals of notation, rhythm, scales and chords through to advanced study in RCM harmony, counterpoint, analysis and RCM music history. We support learners from beginner to ARCT level, and prepare them for RCM exams that lead to official certification and secondary-school credit opportunities.
