TheĀ Reading MusicĀ Student TextĀ is intended to teach students how to read music. Though this is the first step in studying the rudiments of music theory, the course will not go into music theory proper, in which students would study the hows and whys of music.
Reading Music: Introduction to Music TheoryĀ is organized in twelve units, each consisting of four lessons. In theĀ Reading MusicĀ Student Text, a small amount of new information is introduced in each lesson and is reviewed multiple times to ensure mastery. TheĀ Student WorkbookĀ contains exercises for practicing what students learn. TheĀ Teacher GuideĀ provides answers to the exercises as well as unit tests.
This course is suitable for all ages, from primary students to adults. Younger students will benefit from a slower pace (one lesson per week) and may also need a teacherās help. Older students and adults could easily complete one lesson per day.

This continues in middle and high school with moreĀ in-depth studyĀ of our great heritage of art and music, including the great tradition of Latin music.
