Ms Jin Loh Combines ABRSM Music Theory Teachings with New Music Technology in Her Online Music Theory Lessons

---

Ms Jin Loh’s online music theory lessons are unique and effective.

Ms Jin Loh thinks that it is important for students to really hear the music excerpts/scores as printed on music theory books when students learn theory. If students could hear the sound demonstrated or played out, they may gain better understanding in their learning of music.

Instead of just teaching music theory e.g. by merely reading from theory books; or by analyzing the printed music scores "theoretically" on papers only, Ms Jin Loh put in extra effort to prepare music excerpts/scores to be "played out" by various musical instruments for her theory students to listen. This helps her theory students to gain better, deeper understanding and appreciate music even more.

Depending on the music excerpts' instruments, Ms Jin Loh try to arrange music excerpts to be played on specific instruments such as on harpsichord; piano; oboe; cello...etc, for her theory students to listen, after Ms Jin Loh's explanation/teachings.

For example, when Ms Jin Loh teaches her grade 6/7/8 theory students eg. What is Trio Sonata? What is Figured Bass? As Ms Jin Loh explains to her theory students, she uses the Harpsichord instrument to “play out’ the ABRSM Theory Book's Trio Sonata music excerpts for her students to listen.

During the Baroque period, J.S. Bach's keyboard compositions were written for keyboard instrument such as Harpsichord, not for the modern piano instrument. Therefore, it is better for students to listen to the music excerpts played by the authentic instrument - the harpsichord, instead of using another modern instrument such as piano to substitute, if possible.
