Theory Time’s Pre-Primer C reproducible, 56-page workbook, focuses on basic note-reading skills and offers a unique answer to teaching note reading to very young students. This workbook, adapted to all learning styles, shows how a rotated keyboard can become the lines and spaces of the grand staff, thus solving the dilemma of teaching note reading from the perspective of traditional hand positions. Students learn from the very beginning that the grand staff is really just one big staff and the music alphabet is continuously repeated, line-space-line-space. Middle C is the natural division between the treble and bass staves. Emphasis is also placed upon the concepts of HIGH and LOW as the words relate to both location and sound.

The Theory Time Level B workbook is a pre-music reader that teaches left-hand & right-hand, keyboard geography, high & low, up & down, two & three black-key groups, music alphabet on a keyboard, finger numbers, letters & notes, drawing & counting quarter, half & whole notes on a line & in a space, counting quarter rests, staff, direction of a musical line, highest note and soft & loud. This workbook is for an early-beginning student and is the official study material for the Level B theory test in the NFMC Festivals theory-testing program.
