The Fun & Friendly Way To Introduce Music Theory to Kids
It’s been almost two years since I launched my First Piano Lessons eBook, and it quickly became clear that many readers wanted another eBook with a similar approach, but this time focusing on music theory for kids.
There are plenty of general music theory posts on this site, but not an area dedicated specifically to teaching music theory from scratch. A lot of readers also tell me that because there are so many posts nowadays that it can be difficult to know where to start.
The How to Read Music Made Easy eBook brings together many tried and tested techniques, exercises and activities that I have found invaluable over the years. If you’re a regular here, many of the principles and the approach will be familiar to you.
The eBook is packed with original games, exercises and fun music theory printables. It is designed for kids who are starting to learn an instrument, but would also be an ideal resource for the classroom, or any scenario where you are instructing a child in the basics of music theory.
How to Read Music Made Easy is built on the belief that learning music theory (like learning an instrument) should be fun, engaging and rewarding. It offers simple, child friendly explanations with attractive printable worksheets and flashcards. The dedicated resources provide plenty of practice without scaring off younger or slightly hesitant beginners.
