Piano Teacher Sindy Chu (Mobile +65- 8100 2896) has 10+ years experience in teaching piano and vocal in Singapore.
She tells Beginners how to start with Music Theory.

The First you should look at is the Music Alphabet. This gives you a firm foundation in the music notation systems and pre-develops a sense how scales will work. You should know how useful learning the alphabet can be. It's as easy as A-B-C!

The Next, it's Scales! Scales give you a sense of order and directionality. Also because scales are one of the essentials of music.

Then, it's Reading Music, even if you don't plan on sight reading sheet music for your particular style of music. For music theory beginners, avoiding reading music is like going to college without reading: it just doesn't make sense.

Try searching online, or look it up in the Music Dictionary if you look for something specific related to music theory. Remember, even if you know it, start at the beginning. You may run across something you had never seen before, or read something that makes sense in a way that it didn't before.
