Music Theory for 3-5 graders

Music theory is the term for ideas that help us understand music. It explains what music does, and what's going on when we hear it. Music theory puts the ideas and practices of music into a written form, where they can be studied and passed on to others. It's a way to describe and explain music and how it is constructed. So, think of music theory as a means to understand the language of music.                                                                        (excerpt from the page What is Music Theory? )
