These books look excellent.
However, I am a complete adult beginner, just beginning a lifelong quest/desire to read music, and to play the piano to a reasonable standard. I have acquired a beautiful Yamaha instrument, and I now have the time to devote to my quest.
My intention is to teach myself (very slowly!) (and yes, I am already well aware it all looks horribly difficult!), and so I have thoroughly researched all the available books, and basically bought them all! Profligate -yes. But my reasoning is that out of my now quite huge stack of books/courses, I should be able to find one that suits me better than the rest, and I can always use the others for reference, and to dip into if I get stuck.
I have all five of these books, and I am already encouraged by what I have already gleaned by some serious flicking.
Recommended – provisionally, as I am a complete beginner, so please bear this in mind.

Lovely start at theory for my kids.

This book reminds me of the maths worksheet books we needed to fill in when I was a youngster (for those of you old enough to remember those, don’t know if they still use them in schools).
The way it used lots of different questions to reinforce the learning is excellent, so if you have 3 different types of reference it will ask you questions based on each set… very good way of teaching someone
It is not over childish either (just a little more colourful with a few images here and there) to make you want to put it down.
Am going to work my way up through the whole set of these books.

Ordered workbook after reading the great reviews on Amazon. My son is a grade 3 on classical guitar but has had very little of formal theory lessons. His guitar teacher did suggest another theory book but we found the book skimmed lightly over areas where my son was not comfortable with. Music Theory for Young Musicians has been an excellent choice in that it covers everything you need to know from scratch. For example child playing a instrument which only uses treble clef may get stuck when introduced to the bases clef as my son found. Also not been familiar with piano he couldn’t get his head round why sharps and flats were required in major scales. There are lots of practice questions for student. I wish I had bought this book earlier, I have ordered grade 2 and 3 in the same series.

This is a great theory book for 7-9 year olds, containing everything they need to know for Grade 1 in an approachable way. I use it a lot, and ordered two more copies, which were delivered promptly, as ever, and one in new condition. Sadly, the second has a damaged front cover (one-inch tear and longer crease) – not the end of the world, but a pity for a child who is expecting a nice, pristine new book, and who keeps music neatly and carefully.

This whole series of Music Theory for Young Musicians is great for younger students. It has everything in one place, only one book required for each grade.
The instructions are clear and concise, and they include lots of exercises, dealing with each concept from various angles, which makes the student learn and understand each concept very well.
Also, thanks to the illustrations and use of colour, these books makes music theory learning seem a little bit less “scary”: some of my younger students (8-9 year olds especially) have found some of the other available theory books difficult to use as they are a lot more “academic-looking” and therefore a little off-putting if this makes sense. These, however, they find quite fun and approachable.
I can recommend this series if you teach music theory to younger students who are studying towards ABRSM exams.

Advertised as not been written on. Several pages had been filled in. My son needed this urgently for his piano lessons. I would NOT have bought this if I had known it had been filled in. It was advertised as read but no marks. I had to sit and rub out and use tipex as best I could due to having no time to send back and reorder. This did not work for the parts where the bars of music had to be indicated because the pencil mark left behind even after erasing needs to have tipex but the tipex would indicate to the pupil where the line is to go. I am not happy with paying nearly the full price for something that was not fit for purpose and I had to spend an hour trying to make it more usable for the parts we can get away with reusing. This is now the second book I have received from WOB when they stated very good with no writing and it has had writing inside. I will not be using WOB again.
