Here are some testimonials from music teachers about these workbook chapters:

I am excited about the way my students have received this material. I have observed an improvement in the sight-reading of several of them, along with a more complete understanding of what their music is actually saying and doing.
Your material is more comprehensive, yet easier to understand, than any other source I have found in almost 50 years of teaching. My passion is theory, harmony and composition, and you have provided an excellent tool.
Joyce T. Smith

Hi,
I am a High School teacher in California and I found your Theory Website. It is FANTASTIC! This is the first year that we are offering Theory and I have not been able to find a book that I have been very happy with. Most of my students are beginners . I love this!
Have you considered publishing this? If it is, may I order some books for my school? Let me know. Congratulations and thanks.
