2ndGenHomeschooler Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I’ve been talking to my DD about an elective for next year and I think we’ve decided on music theory. She plays the piano and her teacher, while not doing formal theory, does drill her on scales, key signatures, etc. So we won’t be starting from scratch. I’m looking for a high school level workbook. I don’t think our budget will allow for an online class. I can help her and/or teach it. I teach piano lessons and have used method books like Bastien and Faber for theory but that’s not quite what I’m looking for for a high school theory class.

klmama Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I've heard of people using Alfred's. It looks like there are various components, but I don't know how it all goes together or how effective it is. Here are some links I've saved; maybe something here will be helpful to you. https://www.udemy.com/music-theory-complete/ https://tonesavvy.com/ https://practicesightreading.com/ https://www.finalemusic.com/products/notepad/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I started a thread on music theory texts a while back and got a lot of good suggestions. I don’t seem to be able to find it at all. Norton text that I mentioned came from that list of suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
