My Third Music Theory Book (Made Easy)

I bought this for my 9 year old daughter. She has done the first two books and they are presented like a fun activity book- it’s enjoyable to complete and not too dry! Music theory can be hard work sometimes! I will say , not everything is taught in the book. For example, when working on rests, there wasn’t an explainiation of the rest times, just an expectation to know them. However- a quick reassuring google is swift enough! I do rate these books for little ones and we will continue on with the full set.

Excellent source

Great little books for children to learn music theory. I couldn't find anywhere whether this book has the American wording (e.g. half note, quarter note etc) or the European wording (e.g. quaver, semibreve etc). When reading the Amazon listing for these books, it gives you surprisingly little information on which type you are buying. There's no "look inside" function either, which is a pain. Furthermore, the "ask a question" feature doesn't appear to be available on Amazons listing of books, so I couldn't ask other buyers either.After a bit of digging around, I found that the Lina Ng brand has two different sets, which have subtly different titles to distinguish them. In the Pre-School 4-5 years series (of which there are 2 levels) they are titled "Music Theory Made Easy: For Kids", being the American terminology, and "Music Theory Made Easy: For Little Children" being the European terminology.In the next series up - for 6 years+, (of which there are 3 in the series) they are titled "My first/second/third/ Music Theory Book" for the American terminology and "My first/second/third Theory Book" for the European terminology. I also found that the word "Alfred" appeared with the American ones. I'm guessing that this is a different publisher, which also distinguishes them.Why they couldn't just tell you that, I don't know. However, after reading my discoveries, you can make your choice whether you want crochets and quavers (unfortunately not the cheesy kind though), or half notes and quarter notes. Me - I prefer to keep things simple, but the choice is yours!Oh, and one last thing to note, these books are brilliant. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a fun music theory resource for kids. The books move on relatively slowly, so the kid can keep up and not get overwhelmed with information. Also, there are different things to colour in, to stick with stickers, and there's even a little certificate on the final page. These books by Lina Ng are very well thought out and very engaging for children.
