Music theory tells us how music works. It allows us to understand why certain music makes us feel happy, or why the soundtrack in action films makes the visuals so much more exciting. It's also an integral part of any music student's learning journey - in fact for any student wishing to take an advanced exam on their instrument, they are required to pass the Grade 5 music theory exam first. Unfortunately, for years music theory has been packaged as a boring set of rules which must be learned simply to pass an exam. This view is highly detrimental to students, and the lack of engaging resources is also having a negative effect on instrumental music teachers. The mission of Starling Music Academy is threefold;1. create interesting, accessible resources for students,2. relieve pressure on instrumental teachers, and3. create well-paid, flexible jobs for musicians.We aim to solve the first of these issues by creating high-quality video tutorials, quizzes and revision materials which are delivered as a 100% online course. Online courses have become much more common in recent years, but we combine the best parts of traditional learning with the best parts of online learning through our course's two unique features: firstly, each student receives a unique course plan which we create with the help of our specially developed algorithms, and secondly, every student is paired with their own personal music theory tutor. Instrumental music teachers are currently taking time out of their lessons to teach theory, but this is forcing them to give up valuable lesson time to focus on an area of music that they may not be qualified to teach, and often don't enjoy teaching. By outsourcing this area of learning, the student will gain more contact time with their specialist teacher and also acquire another music tutor who will be able to provide them with new musical perspectives. We are committed to creating jobs for musicians who have suffered financially as a result of the pandemic which can be completed around other commitments, such as practice, rehearsals and performances.

音乐理论告诉我们音乐是如何运作的。它让我们理解为什么某些音乐让我们感到快乐，或者为什么动作电影的配乐让视觉效果更令人兴奋。这也是任何音乐学生学习过程中不可或缺的一部分——事实上，对于任何希望参加乐器高级考试的学生来说，他们首先需要通过五级音乐理论考试。不幸的是，多年来，音乐理论一直被包装成一套无聊的规则，只是为了通过考试而必须学习。这种观点对学生是非常不利的，缺乏吸引人的资源也对器乐教师产生了负面影响。斯塔林音乐学院的使命有三个方面：1。1 .为学生创造有趣、容易获取的资源；2 .减轻器乐教师的压力；为音乐家创造高薪、灵活的工作。我们的目标是通过创建高质量的视频教程，测验和复习材料来解决这些问题，这些材料作为100%的在线课程提供。近年来，在线课程变得越来越普遍，但我们通过课程的两个独特特点，将传统学习的优点与在线学习的优点结合起来：首先，每个学生都有一个独特的课程计划，这是我们利用我们专门开发的算法创建的，其次，每个学生都有自己的个人音乐理论导师。器乐教师目前正在从课堂上抽出时间来教授理论，但这迫使他们放弃宝贵的课堂时间，专注于他们可能没有资格教授的音乐领域，而且往往不喜欢教学。通过外包这一领域的学习，学生将有更多的时间与他们的专业老师接触，也将获得另一位能够为他们提供新的音乐视角的音乐导师。我们致力于为因大流行而遭受经济损失的音乐家创造就业机会，这些工作可以在练习、排练和演出等其他承诺的同时完成。
