Alfred's Premier Piano Course: Theory Book 6

Alfred's Premier Piano Course: Theory Book 6 is a 32-page piano theory workbook designed to develop the musical knowledge introduced in earlier levels of the Premier Piano Course. Written by Dennis Alexander, Gayle Kowalchyk, E. L. Lancaster, Victoria McArthur and Martha Mier, it provides a combination of written exercises, creative activities and practical musicianship development for Level 6 piano students.

The workbook combines essential music theory practice with harmonisation, composition, sight-reading and ear-training activities. It also includes information on music history and style, helping students connect theoretical concepts with their practical piano studies.

Develop Advanced Music Theory Knowledge

Theory Book 6 builds on the theoretical foundations established in previous levels of the Premier Piano Course. Its written exercises provide opportunities to reinforce musical understanding and apply previously learned concepts through structured practice.

The activities combine essential theory drills with creative tasks, allowing students to develop their knowledge while exploring different aspects of music.

Explore Harmonisation and Composition

The workbook includes harmonisation and composition activities that encourage students to apply their theoretical understanding creatively.

These exercises provide opportunities to explore musical relationships, develop original musical ideas and strengthen the connection between written theory and practical music-making.

Strengthen Sight-Reading and Ear-Training Skills

Written theory exercises are complemented by activities designed to develop sight-reading and ear-training skills.

This combination helps students connect their understanding of music notation and theoretical concepts with their ability to read and recognise musical material.

Discover Music History and Musical Styles

The book includes commentary on music history and style to reinforce the theoretical principles introduced throughout the course.

These insights provide additional context for students as they explore musical concepts and develop a broader understanding of piano repertoire.

Coordinated Learning with Lesson Book 6

As part of Alfred's Premier Piano Course, Theory Book 6 can be used alongside the corresponding Level 6 Lesson Book to reinforce musical concepts through writing, listening and creative activities.

Its structured exercises make it a practical supplementary resource for piano lessons, independent study and continued musical development.
