Synopsis

Important note added from Aaron publications...*** ATTENTION! YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE 1st (2009) EDITION WHICH HAS SINCE BEEN SUPERSEDED BY THE 2ND (2012) & 3RD (2016) EDITION. The 3rd edition is far superior to this old edition so please SEARCH INSTEAD ON AMAZON FOR THIRD EDITION or ISBN 9780993447501 or go to our website www.aaronpublications.co.uk to read more about the differences. We are unable to get Amazon to remove this old listing (and can only alter the description). Unfortunately we cannot stop third parties selling our old discontinued books but PLEASE BE WARNED THAT MANY SELLERS ARE WRONGLY SELLING THIS ITEM WITHOUT THE ACCOMPANYING 'REFERENCE BOOKLET' (which we always sent to Amazon as part of the package!). The 2nd and 3rd edition amalgamate the material from the Reference booklet to avoid this problem. There is much mention inside All-In-One to Grade 5 (1st edition) book to the accompanying reference booklet so this 1st ed book will make little sense without it! The 3rd (2016) edition can be found on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Grade-Music-Theory-Beginner-Grades/dp/0993447503/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1496823537&sr=8-2&keywords=all+in+one+to+grade+5 ,or bought directly from us, the manufacturer at www.aaronpublications.co.uk. Thank you , Aaron publications (the publisher of All-In-One to Grade 5) ********************************* A RADICALLY NEW APPROACH which dispenses with rote learning and instead explores music theory through an understanding of simple rules and patterns. Mnemonics, amusing stories and memorable illustrations which reinforce information learnt. Clear, progressive papers, graded checklists (ABRSM and Trinity Guildhall), comprehensive revision papers, fun and highly original games which appeal to students of every age. ( Please note that this book already includes -Music Theory for the Complete Beginner/Reference Booklet- which can also be purchased separately on Amazon).

About this title

About the Author

Rachel Billings graduated with Honours in music from the University of Manchester in June 2000 followed by an upper division diploma and postgraduate degreee in performance (piano) at the Royal Northern college of Music in 2003. She was born and brought up in Lincolnshire, but moved to Manchester at age 16 after gaining a place at Chetham s music school where she owes much to the teaching of Nigel Pitceathly. Since then, she has received tuition from internationally acclaimed pianists such as Ronan O Hora, Murray McLachlan, Stephen Hough, and Paul Janes. Rachel has a wide experience in the fields of chamber music and solo performance and has performed at various venues throughout the UK. Personal tastes range greatly from Bach to Percy Grainger, Poulenc and Scriabin. The All-In-One series is an accumulation of 5 years work which was originally written for the benefit of Rachel's own private pupils but later was successfully tried and tested in theory classes which she teaches at a nearby local Girls' grammar school. It is now owned in shops and schools throughout the UK. Rachel has a love for art which has naturally influenced the All-in-one series (which includes no less than 130 illustrations). Personal favorite artists include Shirley Hughes (author and illustrator) and Salvador Dali. Rachel continues to teach in the North-West and welcomes comments/ feedback about the All-in-one series from either teachers or students.
