Music Theory Workbook Bundle 1

Do you need a full year Music Theory course to suit your middle or high school students? This bundle contains THREE music theory books desgined to cover basic music theory week by week. Need something that is not babyish? Are your older pupils 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? THIS is why I created this course!

This bundle contains books 1, 2 and 3 in the series. They introduce the basics of music theory, which you might want to use as revision for your classes, or to start from the beginning with older learners with no prior music experience. Topics included are:

• The Treble Clef
• Treble Clef Notes
• Practising Treble Clef Notes
• Note Values
• Rest Values
• Dotted Notes
• Stems and Tails
• Ascending, Descending, Step and Leap
• Leger Lines
• Bars and Bar Lines
• Semiquavers and Beaming
• Simple Time Signatures
• Ties
• Tempo
• Tempo Changes
• Dynamics
• Further Dynamics
• Bass Clef

• Accidentals
• Intervals
• Tone and Semitones
• More Leger Lines
• Compound Time
• Major Key Signatures
• Scales
• Tonic Triads
• Signs and Symbols
• Sequences
• Italian Terms

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). See the product preview for more detail.

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. This booklet is 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. It is designed to be worked through in order, spending a little time each lesson on theory, over 30 weeks in total.

I have used this series for years with my own students, usually from age 8-14, 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!
