ABRSM Discovering Music Theory, The Grade 3 Workbook

thumbs up

I'm learning piano and starting to reach early intermediate level in playing and in theory, so working alongside my tutor, I purchased this ABRSM grade 3 theory book.This has everything you need to learn at a grade 3 level. It's very clearly laid out and goes through important concepts such as: intermediate rhythms and time signatures, pitch, keys and scales, intervals, triads and sheet music terminology.It goes through with clear explanations, and then lots of exercises to complete for each section, so you can get the information in through both reading and doing. At the back, there is a grade 3 mock exam paper that you can complete once you've gone through all the sections.One thing to note is that the book does NOT tell you the answers to the exercises or the mock paper anywhere in this book. This is a book you should work through with a professional piano tutor so that you can get the most out of it, and get direct feedback on where your strengths and weaknesses may lie in theory.It's also very useful to be able to practice the scales on a piano as you learn the new scales included in this book, as they will help you to remember the relative keys, and sharps and minors in each of them in a practical context.This is a very good theory book, very helpful with lots of good exercises contained inside it. With the help of a tutor and lots of dedicated practice, this will teach you everything you need to know to achieve a grade 3 level.

ottimo libro, spedizione veloce

Started using the book but didn’t anticipate we would find it already used. Certain pages were already written on. They were in the latter chapters

My son likes it very much and finds it useful.
