Hey Presto! Theory for Violists Book 6

Last workbook in the series (6 books), designed to take beginners on the viola to Grade 1 theory level and beyond, relating it to their instrument, and building confidence right from the start.

This book builds on and reinforces everything learnt in the previous books as well as gently introducing just a few final topics with clear, concise and easy to follow explanations. The emphasis is on repetition so that everything learnt in the course can be absorbed and memorized as well as possible. As before, the characters Presto, Bravo and Poco help to bring the subject to life and fun pages also help to make this a highly enjoyable grounding in music theory!
