Hi!

I'm Victoria Williams, here to help you in your music theory journey! With me you will be able to...

✓ replace guesswork with secure knowledge and real practical skills
✓ progress through the music theory grades with a proven, clear and systematic approach
✓ build a confident, independent and long-lasting understanding of music theory

I started MyMusicTheory.com way back in 2007 - all my courses have been thoroughly tested by thousands of students and are constantly updated and improved. Here's a little bit more about me...

→ I graduated with a degree in music, (specialising in musicology), from the University of Leeds in 1995.
→ I hold both diplomas in music theory from Trinity College London AmusTCL (distinction) and LmusTCL.
→ I also hold Grade 8 Composition (Distinction) from LCM.
→ I teach woodwind and piano (and theory!) in South Cambridgeshire as a private and visiting music teacher, and also in a volunteer role at the local music workshop.

Students of my courses generally gain top marks in their exams (and so can you!)

I am now doing Grade 8 but I felt that there was a huge gap in my knowledge of theory. I decided to start with Grade 3 theory last summer and it was then that I found your courses online. They were absolutely invaluable. I have 3 young boys and it was fantastic to be able to follow your courses in my own time.
The videos were easy to understand and really well laid out. I downloaded the pdfs and worked through the exercises. I got 90 in Grade 3. However, for me, the best thing is understanding the theory and feeling confident with the various elements. Thank you so much for your wonderful courses. They were quite simply invaluable.

I would just like to thank you for making your website. I used it a few months back as I had an audition for the university of my dreams and part of the audition was a theory exam. At the time I was only at grade 3. Through using your website I managed to learn the course in under a week and passed the test and luckily got into the university.
I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart because you helped me immensely as I’m sure you have many others. Thank you so much for starting the website and breaking the course down to make it understandable for everyone. Without you I would not have been anywhere near passing the test.

Thank you for all the help you gave me over the last year. Initially when I used your online tutorials in lockdown I had no intention of taking the exam, I just wanted to improve my knowledge and understanding of what I play.
Your explanations were really helpful and I thoroughly enjoyed working through the examples and receiving your feedback.
I’ve just logged into the ABRSM website to see my exam results. Due to your patience and thorough feedback I have passed with 80%
