Any young musician needs to learn the basics of music theory in order to develop into a fully rounded musician. Music theory can be likened to grammar that underlies reading and writing. Initially, music theory can feel boring, but once in the flow of learning, it feels wonderful to come to understand the language of music!

There are plenty on good music theory books for young learners and beginners. However, one series that we have found particularly good is ‘Music Theory for Young Children’ by Ying Ying Ng. They offer a comprehensive and easy to understand overview of all things music!
