On the plus side, this series is cheap, and it does cover a lot of information. Music Theory (the study of how music works Wikipedia) can be a bit of a mystery to violin students. It is all well and good that children learn to read directions thoroughly, but this isn't really the place to work on that. I teach piano as well as strings, and *I* was making mistakes.The directions are a bit complex and involved. A minor, but real.īeef, is that on all of the keyboard charts (and there are many- the book states to the student that it is important to relate the pitches on the violin to the keyboard), the black keys are not filled in. Students start by learning the piano keyboard to increase their understanding of the intervals. There are terms and concepts out of nowhere which you are going to need to explain before the student attempts the work. Theory Workbooks 1 and 2 are correlated with the All for Strings method books and are suitable for classroom or individual use.Each page features exercises and games which encompass music fundamentals introduced in the method books. This is in no way a book that you can just assign pages to your student and then send them on home to do.
