Theory of Music is our rather odd name for the study of the elements of music – how they are formed, how they are set down on paper, and how they can be creatively combined.  It's not everyone's favourite subject, but it is essential training for the all-round musician.  Many instrumentalists who "pick it up" through their playing experience find themselves embarrassed sooner or later by gaps in their knowledge.

Theory of Music Workshop provides a complete course from the level of an absolute beginner to Grade 5 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM), London.  This is the definitive syllabus in the U.K., and others are similar.
 

Whether you are looking for detailed exam preparation or a more general study of Theory, this flexible system can supply everything you need.  Teachers will find in it a wealth of resources from which they can select at will.

The ABRSM Grade 5 has a special importance for music students, who must achieve this standard before they can go on to the higher Grades in the ABRSM instrumental exams.  Theory of Music Workshop contains everything needed (and more) to get them there in good style.
