Alfred Premier Piano Course Theory Book 5 - Piano Theory Workbook
The activities in Theory Book 5 continue to develop the theoretical knowledge begun in previous levels of the course, with a balanced mix of necessary drill and activities that stimulate creativity, including harmonization and composition.
Product Overview
Written theory is interspersed with activities that foster sight-reading and ear-training skills, while intriguing comments on music history and style reinforce the theoretical principles being taught. This combination keeps theory motivating and fun for students, rather than feeling like pure repetitive drilling. Theory Book 5 correlates with Level 5 of the Premier Piano Course, where students develop rhythm skills using sixteenth notes in 3/8 and 6/8 time, alongside a special stylistic focus on Baroque and Classical masterworks. New concepts introduced at this level include augmented triads, grace notes, and additional scales and keys, all of which are reinforced through this workbook's activities.

- Piano students progressing through Alfred's Premier Piano Course at Level 5
- Piano teachers using the full Premier Piano Course system for a coordinated curriculum
