BOOKS I RECOMMEND
Theory is Fun by Maureen Cox - Grades 1-5
Easy to understand, child-friendly and perfect for both those sitting formal music exams and those who just want to get a solid grasp on the theory of music. Quizzes, word-searches and cartoons make these, in my opinion, the most accessible theory books on the market.
Sightsinging: The Complete Method for Singers by Mike Campbell
An absolute MUST for anyone who is interested in sight-singing or improving their ear. This series of exercises ranges from fairly basic clapping and sight-reading to advanced exercises involving sight-reading complex rhythms and harmonies.
The Complete Vocal Workout: A step-by-step guide to tough vocals by Roger Kain
A series of HARD, but invaluable exercises which are great for building up the techniques necessary to take on really challenging rock and metal songs, as well as providing a solid foundation for singing more generally.
APPS I RECOMMEND
