As a child, I loved music and fairy tales. Nevertheless the lessons of music theory seemed very boring and uninteresting to me. Because of this I even wanted to drop out of music school!
But then, after graduating a music school and performing arts university, I realized that the very theory of music is a fascinating fairy tale! All what we need is to use imagination! Today, thousands of children from more than 60 countries around the globe study music theory with my fairy tales. Join us! It is going to be FUN.
