Learning music theory is an extremely important part of the process of understanding music. Music theory will encompass not only learning to read and write music, but understanding the whole process of music, how it is put together and what makes it enjoyable to listen to.
To this end, music worksheets in theory are invaluable for both the student and teacher. Whether you are a teacher putting them together, or a student using them to learn from, it is really important that they match up with the curriculum at that specific time. Music theory worksheets, when well-prepared, can keep the studentÃs interest as well as giving him a reference point to study while listening to you.
Music theory worksheets should be geared towards the age group that are being taught, and to this end many should be prepared in advance, with subdivisions for advanced , medium and beginner levels in each target group, whether they be adults, teens or tots.
For very young children, music theory worksheets should encompass drawings and pictures they can color in as presumably they not have learned to read or write at this stage, with emphasis placed on visual stimulation relating to the lesson.
Music theory worksheets for teenagers should ideally incorporate something from the world of popular music - whether that be rock, soul or rap music, preferably something taken from recent chart hits so that the teenager has instant rapport with the subject matter. Developing an identity with the music can help greatly with their eventual understanding and appreciation of their music theory lesson.
