Accelerate your elementary students' learning with the Thinking Theory Book Four! This book covers key signatures, time signatures, note values, intervals, markings, scales and more; with plenty of review to reinforce these important concepts.

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 after finishing this book they can move to Book One Plus for lateral work to really cement the concepts.
