Sometimes just explaining music theory doesn’t quite stick.

Mad Scientist Theory is like a “teaching assistant” that helps engage and motivate your students to learn the chemistry behind music.  

With the technology of Google Slides, students can experiment with the concepts of music theory until they feel comfortable. 

All of the music theory concepts are ORGANIZED for you.  This makes teaching and presenting easy! 

After a year of distance learning, kids are super savvy when it comes to Google Slides. Students can receive the slides BEFORE their lesson, AFTER their lesson, or even DURING a Zoom lesson or during off-bench time.

Mad Scientist Theory is divided into seven units:  

1. Rhythm

2. Chords

3. Inversions

4. Intervals

5. Key Signatures 

6. Lead Sheets

7. Scales

Students will dive into interactive, activity slides: (you will use these in edit mode)

You will also have “informational” slides that you can print for your students, or show during a lesson.
