Rockschool's Theory Guidebooks are the ideal introduction to music theory for musicians, composers, students and teachers, designed for use with Rockschool's theory exams, as study and teaching aids, or as standalone guides.

Use it with the accompanying Popular Music Theory Workbooks (Grades 6–8) to ensure success in your exams.
Rockschool's Popular Music Theory series is also ideal for Music Technology, GCSE and Further Education students.
