Music Theory for Viola – Book 1 is the first book in a carefully structured six-book series created especially for beginner viola players.
The book begins with the stave and alto clef – exactly where viola students need to start – and introduces notes that reflect the instrument’s open strings rather than defaulting to piano-based middle C. By aligning theory with what students are physically playing in their early lessons, new concepts feel logical, relevant and immediately useful.
Designed with young learners in mind, the explanations are clear, concise and accessible. The material progresses in small, manageable steps, allowing most children to complete the activities independently with only minimal guidance from a teacher or parent. Key ideas are revisited in varied ways to reinforce understanding and build secure foundations from the very beginning.
Friendly characters Presto, Bravo and Poco guide students through the pages, adding personality and encouragement along the way. Varied and engaging activities make this a positive and enjoyable first experience of music theory.
