Lemoine Labrousse M. - Planète FM Vol.7 - Théorie

Summary of This Method

This manual is intended for students who already have a solid foundation in solfège and Music Theory, aiming to cover the skills expected at the end of a cycle corresponding to a 7th year. However, it acknowledges a practical reality: from one institution to another, level names do not always match, and the weekly time dedicated to Music Theory can vary. Therefore, the book lends itself to flexible use, both in class and for personal study, depending on pedagogical goals and the student's profile.

The internal organization emphasizes a more coherent and musical reading: sections that, in previous volumes, were divided between a theory workbook and a repertoire workbook are here combined within the same chapter. This structure encourages back-and-forth between observing the musical text and acquiring concepts, in order to immediately link theory to concrete situations of reading, listening, and analysis.

At this level, the student can tackle more demanding content in note reading, rhythmic reading, and understanding musical language, while strengthening essential automatisms. The book thus allows prioritizing the quality of the chosen musical text, without neglecting the exercises necessary to consolidate skills: accuracy, regularity, identification of key elements, and connecting concepts in the service of interpretation. A relevant resource to support progression in Music Theory at conservatories, music schools, or in an instrumental path requiring a solid theoretical foundation.
