My Favorite Music Theory Method Books

Most people groan at the idea of music theory—it is just like more math homework! But, the music students I have had who spend regular time learning about theory always excel over those who just want to play. A little work a day, like aerobics or biking, or learning a language, can keep you in shape and ahead of the game; and you will know more about what you are doing, which always helps.

The theory method that I like the best is called Basics of Keyboard Theory, by Julie McIntosh Johnson. I like it because my students like it—I have had the best response from students of diverse ages, who don’t mind (some of them even like it). Here is the link to her site: http://www.bktmusic.com/

PLUS you can download computer activities, at least when the site is working. Maybe it will be up again soon.
