Theory Gymnastics (Kjos)
Theory Gymnastics is the most creative and comprehensive theory curriculum available and the perfect companion to every method. By combining hilariously funny games with their creative books, the Three Cranky Women (TCW) have elevated music theory from the boring "must-do" to the "I can't wait to do!" Whether a practice page or a brain-teasing difficult puzzle page, the variety of activities requires students to repeatedly use and apply each theory concept in new and different ways. Concepts in Level B include notes on the grand staff, intervals on the staff and keyboard, rhythm up to dotted quarter with eighth, half steps and whole steps, five-finger patterns, I chords onthe staff and keyboard, and more. Energico roughly correlates with levels 2 – 3 of most popular Piano methods.
