The number of units varies from level to level for example, Preparatory Level has 14 Units while Level 5 has 20 Units.Ĭross Sample of Unit Contents to Level 5: Each unit sticks to one very specific topic within music theory, providing first instruction and then thorough practice. There are eleven (11) levels in the series: Preparatory Level through Level 10 and each level has a corresponding Teacher’s Answer Book. The theory is broken into a clear, systematic progression to ensure that pianists touch the concepts again and again and become ever more knowledgeable with each new book. The purpose of the books is to “provide piano students with an organized course for the study of music theory” in a way that particularly assists pianists to play more accurately and with greater understanding. Wow, I can’t imagine feeling that way about any of the theory I learned as a kid! Today I am going to provide a run-down of the first six levels of this theory program and explain why I think it’s a real gem of a resource for piano teachers and students. In fact, one student beamed with excitement as she shared that she had ordered her very same theory book for a friend who was trying to learn piano on his own. She explained that, in her view, what she was learning in the theory book was vital to understanding not only theory, but also piano playing in general. I love the way these books teach by beginning with the piano keyboard and my students will often tell me how much they enjoy completing their theory assignments weekly. I decided to take the leap into this series and I’m so glad I did! Well, about a year ago, I was reading some online discussions where I heard about Fundamentals of Piano Theory by Keith Snell and Martha Ashleigh. If there is a chance my kids will learn to hate music theory, I want no part of it. Consequently, as a piano teacher, I’ve been reluctant to assign any random theory book to my students. I worked through various theory books in childhood piano lessons but, honestly, the books were dry and I never ingested the information in a meaningful way. To this day, when I picture a specific brown, paper-cover theory book that my teacher gave me, I remember the animosity and dread that accompanied those assignments. My personal experience with music theory has really shaped how desire to teach it. ![]() When concepts are presented first on the keyboard, then on the staff, theory can be quite fun and enlightening! ![]() ![]() ![]() O元2953632W Page-progression lr Page_number_confidence 75.00 Pages 62 Pdf_module_version 0.0.22 Ppi 360 Rcs_key 24143 Republisher_date 20230404145529 Republisher_operator Republisher_time 417 Scandate 20230326022857 Scanner Scanningcenter cebu Scribe3_search_catalog isbn Scribe3_search_id 9780849762321 Sent_to_scribe Tts_version 5.Pianists have a huge advantage when it comes to learning music theory if it is approached correctly.
