Hideaki Onishi Music

Are you planning to take the ABRSM theory exam soon (and pass with distinction)?

Or do you want to refresh your knowledge and skills of music theory and musicianship as a music teacher or a music student, and get ready for the new semester?

Or do you want to make the summer break a punctual and meaningful one, but not sure what to do just yet?

If your answer yes to any of these questions, then your solution is right here!

Hideaki Onishi Music’s ABRSM Summer Intensive Courses are coming back in June 2026!

* ABRSM Grade 5 Theory Intensive (8 sessions)
* ABRSM Grade 6 Theory Intensive (8 sessions)

Here are the main features of the courses:

* Taught by a Professional Music Theorist—You will no longer need to ask your instrumental teacher only to receive a vague answer (and get more confused). Your question will receive a straightforward and most convincing answer—music theory has never been this simple (and fun)!
* Interactive Learning—Despite the common belief, music theory is never a subject of memorisation; it is all about doing it by yourself and experiencing the joy of music! All the classes will be conducted in a highly interactive manner, where each participant will not only learn the respective course content thoroughly but also enjoy performing and singing the given rhythm, melody, and harmony!
* Giveaways Every Lesson—All participants will receive some giveaways in every single lesson, which can be reviewed as quick tips right before the actual exam, and your score will be much, much higher!
* Fully Online—No need to commute anymore! You can receive the highest quality of instruction from wherever you like to be: right at home, in a cafe, or even from your vacation!
* And a Huge Discount for the Package Deal!

Registrations are open now—please contact me for inquiries!

Samuel has been studying music with me since February 2025. He has shown great aptitude for musical composition rather quickly; having started with a couple of simple piano pieces in binary form, he quickly moved on to a Theme and Six Variations for Cello (his own instrument) and Piano, and now has completed a very strong Rondo for Violin and Piano.

“Dr Onishi’s extensive knowledge of music theory, together with his concise explanations make him an excellent teacher. He makes the effort to relate theoretical concepts to examples from the repertoire. This makes it easy for me to appreciate the contents taught in the lesson.”

“Regarding composition, Dr Onishi’s advice is invaluable. His feedback is honest and sincere. I have improved significantly because of his thoughtful criticism. He encourages me to develop my own ideas while taking care of the compositional craft. I am very grateful for his help.”

“I would strongly recommend any students interested in music theory and composition to his class!”

Hideaki Onishi Music is accepting music students of all ages! Feel free to contact me if you want to learn piano, theory, history, musicianship, or composition.
