• Entertaining illustrations and diagrams to stimulate your child's interest, and to help your child remember each lesson.
• Highly effective exercises to ensure that your child understands every topic.
• Clear, detailed explanations in short, simple sentences.
• A hands-on, pencil and paper, tactile experience that involves writing notes, clefs, and musical symbols by hand, for learning that is deep and enduring.

Whether your child is learning piano, guitar, flute, violin, or any other instrument, Doctor Mozart's keyboard-based approach to music theory can help your child succeed.

Music Teacher Reviews

"I have been searching for a theory book which will enhance the piano student's lessons rather than bore them. The Doctor Mozart theory book is filled with everything for which I have been searching. The pages are colorful, and there are interesting, fun tips that help students retain information in ways not found in the traditional theory books." J. K., Maple Grove, MN
