Do you need a long-term Music Theory curriculum to suit your middle school students? This bundle contains SIX music theory books designed to cover music theory week by week.

Do you need music workbooks that are not babyish? Are your older learners put off by cute clipart and exercises counting animals? Are you looking for a theory course which will teach or revise the basics in an engaging but age-appropriate way and then lead on to more complex work? THIS is why I created this course!

This bundle contains all the books (1-6) in the series. They introduce/revise the basics of music theory then lead on to more advanced topics. Topics included are:

Each workbook also contains space for students to make notes, and a self-reflection task for them to evaluate their progress, ideal for your tracking and reporting each semester. 2 versions of each booklet are included, one with USA terms (staff, whole note, measure etc) and one with UK terms (stave, semibreve, bar etc).

The printable workbooks are in PDF format. Each is 14 pages long. Every topic has clear explanations and two written tasks for your students to complete. These booklets are versatile and can be used in class, as homework, with whole classes or even by individual piano teachers or instrumental teachers on a one-to-one basis. They designed to be worked through in order, spending a little time each lesson on theory over an extended period of time, supplementing your usual curriculum.

I have used this series for years with my own students, usually from age 8-16, but the clear layout makes it suitable for any age. I have also used it with adult beginner piano pupils, who did not want to work from materials aimed at children. Please let me know how you use it!
