Set your beginning piano students up for speedy success with the Thinking Theory Prep Book! The Prep Book covers beginning concepts such as piano key names, steps and skips, landmark notes, and other essentials to get started at the piano.
This book is designed with the student in mind. All concepts are revisited in different ways throughout the book, and the flashcard games provide a fun way to reinforce learning.
Thinking Theory avoids giving students busywork and keeps layouts clean. If a student does need extra review they can move to Prep Book Plus for lateral work to really cement the concepts.
