ISBN 9780769218090. The knowledge of note reading, intervals, rhythm, music symbols and terms, and the ability to listen are essential to the development of a strong foundation for the piano student. This THEORY book was written to help provide this foundation by giving students reinforcement of the concepts presented in the LESSONS book of the DAVID CARR GLOVER METHOD FOR PIANO. As the students advance in their ability to play the piano, the THEORY book will help give them a better understanding of the music they are performing. The pages are designed to be interesting and fun for the students in order to spark their enthusiasm and increase their motivation.
