Music Theory in Practice, Grade 1

A must for anyone starting to do theory

Positives: This book is practise and testing your music theory. The exercise vary from easy to difficult and allow you to test your knowledge. By completing it, you should be able to sit the level music tests. The exercises are really engaging too. Note, it does have some hints and knowledge bits but it is not a learning book (i.e. read it to learn level 1), it's an exercise book like a mock exam. I found the book engaging too, as well as relevant. Cons; Some exercises were wrong (minor details and issues but wrong nonetheless) Some exercises repetitive but I guess that's how one would learn best

Ok

Very comprehensive and easy to use. I first learned the Violin as a child and to decided to take it up again as an adult. Over time, much of my theory had been lost so this book was great for getting me back on track and preparing me for grade 1. It also taught me stuff that I don't recall ever been shown by my violin teacher. Definately worth the buy.

I use this workbook to teach music theory and reinforce the ideas covered in the practical lessons. It helps students think. For instance, in answer to the question on page 5 they can say that 3over 4 means 3 beats in a bar. Invariably, when you ask them why not just write a big "3" to convey the same idea they are at a loss and you can use this as a launching pad to explain the full concept. The improvisation/composition exercises at the end of the book are also helpful for both students and teachers. They are needed for all round musicianship. This was delivered promptly via Amazon Prime.

The Basic Music Theory

I have now completed this book and the 2nd one. I find the exercises quite dull, especially when you have to copy out bars of music but I have learnt so much from just the first two books! It's amazing! I keep surprising myself by knowing the answers to the questions. The books are also good to look back through if you forget something. I have used the grade one book a lot of times whilst completing the grade two book. I think although you don't realise it you do learn quite a lot from these books. I would recommend them to people who enjoy theory and especially to those who don't because although it doesn't get any more enjoyable, actually playing the music and doing exams will be a lot easier!

No conplaints
