Sheila Joynes Teaches Music Theory - On Video!
Sheila Joynes is delighted to announce that all the
Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4 and Grade 5 modules in her
6-year project are now complete!
How much do the videos cost?
Sheila's aim has
always been to make these videos available to as wide an
audience as possible. From the outset, it has been
her policy that an entire course of modules -
covering one whole grade of music theory
should cost less than one single music lesson.

Joynes Special Edition Video |

signatures from beginner to
Grade 8

- How to instantly recognise any major key
signature
- Key signature mnemonics
- The circle of 5ths (with some
fun computer
graphics to make sure you understand)

* Teaching Language
A question we are often asked is, "Does Sheila use
terms such as 'Semibreves, Minims and Bars', or 'Whole
Notes, Half Notes and Measures'?" The answer is,
both. Sheila explains clearly that there are
different terms in use worldwide and uses both
interchangeably and together in her teaching.
Those familiar with either set of terms will feel right
at home - and they will become familiar with both sets of terms;
this in itself, is a valuable lesson.
