"Each day I enjoy more the experience of working with children in music education. The happiness when seeing a student understanding and appreciating all that music brings is very fulfilling. My First Theory and Solfege Book, Vol. 1 is designed especially for children 4 years old and over. With pictures, exercises and practice, the student will learn the basics of theory and solfege through the more advanced themes that they need to know for their musical development. Volume 1 is part of a series of education material with fun exercises, sections to color, word searches, musical math, composer of the day, color pages, and more, where they can enjoy learning about music from beginning to end.I also invite parents to understand, study and work on the assigned assignments, for you are already the most important teachers for our students' growth. Children imitate our behavior, and it is beautiful to see them sharing with their parents the learning experiences from My First Book of Theory and Solfege.In the final section of the book, you will find the section Let's Sing. There, I present basic intonation exercises that you can intersperse throughout the book at the teacher's discretion. I hope you enjoy My First Book of Theory and Solfege as much as I do. Welcome to this musical adventure that is about to begin!"
