Theory Gymnastics: Animato (Level A) - Student Book

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.

Choose one of two books based on the student’s age: Level A – Brillante (ages 5-7) or Animato (ages 8-11).

Concepts in Level A include the music alphabet, the grand staff, steps and skips on the keyboard and staff, rhythm up to eighth note pairs, five-finger patterns, I chords, and more! Choosing the right book ensures these concepts are presented through age-appropriate artwork, verbiage, and activities. Upon completion of Brillante, young students who would benefit from review can repeat Level A with Animato or move straight into Level B.
