Music Theory: Music Theory for Young Musicians

Hi everyone,

In todays post I'm going to talk about a series of music theory workbooks called 'Music Theory for Young Musicians', and these are for the music theory grades 1 - 5.

The 'Music Theory for Young Musicians' workbooks are designed with younger music learners in mind. These workbooks are very colourful throughout each of the workbooks which are suitable for Grades 1 - 5, and they are in association with the ABRSM Music Theory exams.

Each workbook is in a large format to make it easier to read, and to understand what the task is that the learner is working on. The staves are also in a large format to make it easier for the young learner to understand. There's also a section of revision notes at the back, along with specimen music theory relevant to grade the student is working on.

Due to these books being printed in a larger format for younger children; these books may also be useful for someone who struggles to read in a smaller font, or for someone who is a visual learner due to the use of colour throughout this series of workbooks. These workbooks are mainly aimed at children, but I can't see why these workbooks can't be adapted for who struggles, or for someone who may have a learning disability, and also for adults who like colourful and simplified formats just to make things a little easier for them to grasp and understand what it is that they are learning.

I love the 'Music Theory for Young Musicians' workbooks, as they can be used for loads of different learning scenarios to get the best from your music students. I love the fact that they are colourful throughout this series, and have different characters to make it more enjoyable for children. Because it features a few characters throughout this series it should inspire young children to focus on developing their music theory knowledge, while making it fun and enjoyable at the same time.
