Edly’s Music Theory for Practical People, 2nd Edition

Do you play an instrument or sing – at any level, and want to know more about what makes music tick? Do you want to deepen your appreciation of music? Are you a rock ‘n’ roller who wants to broaden your horizons? Are you a jazzer needing more knowledge of the chords and scales which make up your music? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then this book is for you. It is intended for anyone, teen to adult, who wants to learn about hat’s going on inside music. It starts at the very beginning by introducing the notes and explaining basic terms. It then takes you through scale and chord building from simple to advanced. It introduces you to standard song forms, improvisation, and ear-training. After reading this book, you will have a very solid grounding in melody and harmony. At that point, if you wish, you can continue your study with books that focus on your specific areas of interest.
