Overview

The Magic of Music Theory is a workbook series for young string players who are learning to play the violin by ear before learning to read music. This series teaches music theory, writing, and aural skills from the perspective of the violin fingerboard! Lessons are designed to reinforce concepts taught in the private lesson. Workbook pages, games, and activities are designed for the student to do at home with their practice partner. This saves valuable lesson time while still allowing students to learn theory.
