This is the final book in a series of 6, aimed at teaching more advanced music theory to older students. If you need a Music Theory course that is not babyish, includes varied written exercises and self reflection, moving far beyond basic note names and note values, this is for you! This is Book 6 in the series. Books 1-3 introduce the basics of music theory, which you might want to use as revision for your classes, or to start from the beginning with older learners with no prior music experience. Topics included in Book 6 are: Other Time Signatures (including irregular) More Key Signatures (up to 5 sharps and flats) Inversions Further Italian Terms More Cadences Circle of Fifths Transposing Further Intervals (major, minor and perfect) More Triads (augmented, diminished) More Chord Types (diminished 7th, dominant 7th, addded 6th) The workbook also contains space for students to make notes, and a self-reflection task for them to evaluate their progress. 2 versions of the booklet are included, one with USA terms (staff, whole note, measure etc) and one with UK terms (stave, semibreve, bar etc). The printable workbook is in PDF format and is 14 pages long. There is one page for each of the ten topics, each with clear explanations and two written tasks for pupils. This booklet is versatile and can be used in class, as homework, with whole classes or even by individual piano teachers or instrumental teachers on a one-to-one basis. It is designed to be worked through in order, spending a little time each lesson on theory, over 10 weeks in total. This workbook follows on from books 1-5. The books are available to purchase individually from my TES store, or save some money by purchasing all 6 as a bundle! I have used this booklet for years with my own students, usually from age 12-16, but the clear layout makes it suitable for any age. I have also used it with adult beginner piano pupils, who did not want to work from materials aimed at young children. Please let me know how you use it! These theory workbooks are not affiliated with any particular curriculum or examination board, but books 4-6 are aimed at the following approximate levels: England/Wales GCSE Scottish SQA Higher and Advanced Higher ABRSM grade 2 theory Trinity grade 2 theory LCM grade 2 theory RCM Canada grade 3 AMEB Australia grade 2

Do you need music theory quizzes to test your students’ knowledge of more advanced music theory, such as intervals, compound time signatures, chords, inversions and Italian terms? Use them for: assessments homework tracking/monitoring extension work for fast finishers leaving for a sub The quizzes can be used alone (see the preview for topics covered) but they have been designed to work perfectly with my set of Theory Workbooks 4-6. I use them to test pupils’ knowledge and understanding at the end of each book. 2 versions are included - UK and US terminology (crotchets/quarter notes, stave/staff etc). There are so many music theory resources are available, but this course has been designed to progress beyond the basics, on to more complex work. There are 9 quizzes in total; 3 sets of 3. Each set is progressively harder than the last. You can spend a little time on theory each lesson, fitting it in around your usual curriculum, and giving your students an excellent grounding in musical literacy!

I originally arranged this piece to be a fun technique exercise for my vocal group to work on after concert season – but it proved to be such a hit we included it in the next show! This is a short, snappy arrangement of the Scott Joplin favourite, Maple Leaf Rag. What it lacks in length (around 30 seconds!) it more than makes up for with content – your choir will work on their pitch, chromatic intervals, syncopation, dynamic contrast and more! If your choir find the soprano 1 part too difficult, it could be played on an instrument with the choir providing the accompaniment through the other parts. Once the choir knows it well, it can be used as a really fun warm-up exercise too!

This is a simple piano arrangement of a fun, popular Halloween piece which could also be enjoyed year-round. Beginner-intermediate pupils who can read the full stave should learn this piece reasonably quickly.

This arrangement is 12 bars long, includes no syncopation, one flat in the key signature, dynamics and fingering suggestions. The downloadable file is in PDF format and features helpful tips for the pupil and teacher. The lyrics are also included in case your pupil wants to sing along! This could be used in one-to-one lessons, for recitals, in larger piano or keyboard classes or just for fun!

We all have times when we have to cancel a band practice or orchestra rehearsal! If you need alternative written work for your band or orchestra, this is a research and analysis task which is ready to print and go, and can even be left with a non-specialist teacher! It is no-prep, and requires no instruments or technology! It is designed to be used when a usual rehearsal cannot happen. It really is a worthwhile and enriching task as well as being a simple, no-prep lesson for emergencies, subs, cover and more! What’s Included? 4 pages 50 questions 8 sections What do I need? Your students need a copy of their own part from the piece you are playing. Tell me more! The task is a 4-page printable worksheet (PDF) which pupils answer on blank paper (or laptop/computer). All 4 pages are greyscale for cheaper copying. Your band/orchestra members will study their sheet music for a piece they are playing, and answer a series of questions designed to deepen their knowledge of the piece, understand its background, and improve their playing of their part. Students work alone, at their own pace, and independently of the teacher. These worksheets will take most students two lessons (assuming 50-60 minute lessons) but could be repeated for other pieces if you need it to last longer. An extension task is even included for fast finishers. The 50+ questions are split into 8 headings such as “First Glance”, “Rhythm and Tempo” and “Ensemble playing”. You can customise the task by asking pupils to complete only certain sections, or use it as homework with one section to complete every week. Questions range from simple, one-word answers (such as naming the composer, key signature etc) to longer and more involved activities (such as notating a rhythm they find difficult and creating a word or phrase to match the rhythm). We all have situations where we have to cancel a band practice or orchestra rehearsal and I am sure you your students to complete meaningful, enriching work which will actually improve their playing! Teacher absence, usual rehearsal space being unavailable, quiet rehearsals during exams, or a pupil who has opted out or cannot attend a practice but is still required to complete some work. Anything else? I have a set of 8 cover worksheets which are flexible and ideal for band, orchestra, choir, general music, music appreciation and more! Many educators like you have purchased these items together. Like this task, they require no prep, no instruments and no specialist teacher. Check them out here! I also have a similar set of worksheets for choirs.
