Being a life-long music student, Kaii Lee passed the UCLA entrance Music Theory test that allowed her to skip all Music Theory classes offered at UCLA. She believes there are some fundamental ideas about how music became music to our ears or brains. Click here to see some of her ideas of good sounds.

Kaii has created a step-by-step piano and keyboard music theory lessons for her students. The following samples are taken from her lessons. In Kaii's opinion, Rhythm is number one in music and everyone needs to have a good understanding of music notations. Each of the following topics has been carefully prepared by Kaii. More of the pages will become available on this website depending on Kaii's engagements and private music lesson loads. Thank you for your patience. Please check back often!
