DD1 is preparing for grade 4 violin after taking a break from the exam track. It's always been in the back of my mind to be letting her do some early grade theory stuff just so that she can get the feel of it (no time in lesson really to do any).
Grade 5 violin will probably be upon us in a blink so I'm thinking about getting her prepped for grade 5 theory (would rather keep going with ABRSM than switch to Trinity).
Would it make sense to get some of the earlier grade exam papers and answer sheets and let her have a bash at those to see how she gets on? Theory teacher? (although I can't bear the thought of having to schlepp to something else.
Anything else to help her along without applying too much pressure? [should add that although she plays well and is well developed aurally, her head is a bit in the clouds with music theory]
