Dr Tronél Hellberg, UFS alumna, completed her PhD in Music from the OSM in 2018.

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown has posed many challenges. Not only has it distrupted our normal way of life it but has created a ‘new normal.’ Even in these trying times, alumni from the University of the Free State (UFS) have adjusted to the new normal by going above and beyond to make it as normal as possible. 

One of these is Dr Tronél Hellberg, an alumna from the Odeion School of Music at the UFS, who has supported Grade 12 learners by presenting free online prescribed music theory classes. The classes are beneficial for learners following the CAPS or IEB curriculum. “I trust the online videos will assist learners and teachers to get through this challenging Grade 12 year,” says Dr Hellberg. She has recorded more than 38 live videos on her G-Sential Theory of Music Facebook page

The recordings are accessible to Grade 12 learners and their teachers at no cost. Dr Hellberg established the G-Sential Theory of Music in 2007 and has since published 20 theory of music books. 
 
Apart from assisting in teaching, one of her main objectives is to reach less fortunate learners who do not have access to music teachers. “Grade 12 music literacy requires an accumulative understanding of theory of music,” she says. With her initiative she also aims to “fill any gaps” to solidify knowledge and information which might still be unclear.
