Blast
Off with Music Theory!
Maureen
Cox
Edited by Victoria
McArthur
A best-selling
British publication now revised for North America, Blast Off with
Music Theory! presents music theory in a step-by-step approach
that is fun yet straightforward. Students may go as fast as desired
since the materials are self-explanatory, a particularly appealing
feature for older or more experienced students.
The series
features clear explanations, a variety of activities, and a flexible,
moderate pacing. Teachers will love the helpful review activities,
permanent record of progress, and the high student motivation level! |
