Theory classes are built around and interconnected with piano lessons. Theory course structure is designed around the core principles of RCM examination standards. Classes include written segment, solfege, ear- training, music history, the basics of improvisation etc.

Theory tests are conducted at the end of Studio Year in June. Once students complete grade 7-8, they write mock exams , then sent for an official RCM Theory Exam.

Children must be at least aged 7 for enrolment into the theory program. This program is a mandatory prerequisite for all piano students above this age.
