Fundamentals Of Piano Theory - Level 1

This is a great book to advance your child’s piano theory and understanding. It is a little bit more of a deep dive and extra practice that isn’t in most piano theory books. So glad my teacher recommended it!

I really like the way the book is set out, but there are no answers to check if I got the questions right! How am I supposed to correct my mistakes and learn where I went wrong without answers?

My daughter's piano teacher asked the parents to buy this book for her while she's taking lessons. I think it has great theory and not a lot of extra for the kids to learn piano. My only gripe is that the binding can't take the abuse of a 6-year-old. The cover fell over after a few weeks of use - again, probably due to my daughter not knowing how to gently handle the book.

This volume from the 11 book set of theory books is essential to me in my piano studio. You can also buy answer books for all the volumes. In the later volumes this will be helpful. It is interesting how towards the end of all volumes except the Preparatory volume there is a heading called the "Four Periods of Music History". For the 1st volume all four periods fit on one page. In each additional volume the four periods are expanded so that by the 10th volume the information has grown to 6 pages.I highly recommend this music theory collection to all musicians whether as use in teaching or for personal use.

This is a wonderful in-depth theory book I highly recommend for beginners. It has a professional, mature layout but is still useful for young children! I use this for my piano students after they have passed the Preparatory Level.
