Synopsis

Trinity Music Theory Grade 4
This book was written for students who are preparing to take the Trinity Grade Four Music Theory exam. Parents of younger students will also find it helpful, as well as busy music teachers who are trying to fit music theory teaching into a very short time during instrumental lessons.

Each topic is broken down into digestible steps, and for best results the lessons should be followed in the order they are presented. After each topic you will find a page or so of practice exercises, to help you consolidate what you have learned. Answers are provided at the end of the book. A practice test is included.
