Theory of Music Workbook Grade 1 (Trinity Guildhall Theory of Music): Theory Teaching Material

This workbook is very clear and well set out. I am using it to teach my son who is 10. Although I have no great knowledge of music theory myself, the explanation are very clear and step by step which allows me to teach it myself saving lesson time. It helps to have a piano to try out and demonstrate the points. It'll be interesting to see how far we can get before I need to handover to a professional.

As a piano teacher I have tried many different theory workbooks. I use these books most of the time now. They provide very clear step-by step explanations and exercises to build the student's knowledge. They are almost self-contained but you do need a teacher to check your answers as none are provided for the exercises. As the title makes clear, the syllabus covered is Trinity Guildhall, not the Associated Board, and there are some differences, but the ABRSM does accept Trinity Grade 5 theory for those doing its grade 6 practical exams.

These books are good and accessible. Put ABRSM to shame really. Easily followed, well explained. Kids are never riveted by this stuff but it's well set out and clearly explained.

Very good theory book

Recommended by my Piano Teacher as someone just starting to learn to play. I am an adult learner and do not intend to do any examinations still told that this book would be invaluable to learn reading music in general.

As described

The kids love this! It feels practical rather than theoretical so appeals to many students resistant to learning theory. It's relevant to their musical study and attractively presented. Progression is clear to other books.

Bought one each for my 2 kids, they've used some of it but not all despite the fact that one is sitting grade 1 tomorrow and the other in a couple of months. It will come into it's own in the next few months though as they build on their existing theory knowledge.

If you are a musician who feels the need to know theory behind the music he plays, and would like to read and write stave notation, then this is where your journey should begin. The Grade 1 Workbook is a superb tool for learning. Simple, step by easy step it leads you forward, giving a clear understanding of the stave, time, pitch, note values, rests, key signatures, the Trebel and Bass clefs the diatonic major scales of C, F and, G, and more, all of which are demystified and explained in simple language. Go through the workbook diligently and you will be elated at the knowledge you acquired, and how easily that happened. You have started learning the language in which western music is written. However, if you are one of those people who are happy just playing music by ear and not keen to delve into the theory, or know how to read or write music, then this book is not for you.

ALL WAS OKAY WITH THIS PURCHASE.
