Contemporary Music Theory - Level One
The "Contemporary Music Theory" series is a product of author Mark Harrison's experience teaching hundreds of students (from beginners to working professionals) at the world-famous Grove School of Music in Los Angeles. The author of the Grammy-winner endorsed "Pop Piano Book" has now created the finest harmony and theory methods available for the pop & jazz musician.
Whether you are new to music theory, or are finding your "classical theory" background inadequate for pop and jazz applications, this Level One course is an ideal starting point. The book completely derives and explains major and minor scales, keys and key signatures, all intervals, triads and four-part chords, diatonic chords, modes, suspensions and altered chords. Everything is presented from the viewpoint of the contemporary musician and is information you can then use right away in your playing or composing/arranging.
Each chapter in this book is divided into three main sections: 1) Textbook, containing a complete explanation for each subject area addressed, with various examples of how to apply the theory concepts, 2) Workbook Questions, containing written exercises for each subject area, 3) Workbook Answers, containing answers for all the written exercises. This book is ideally suited for self-study, one-on-one music tutoring, and group classes. Appendices at the back of the book list all major and minor scales (both with and without key signatures) and all diatonic triads and four-part chords in every key. These are followed by a complete glossary of terms used in the book, for your reference and convenience. "Contemporary Music Theory - Level One - Reference Book" weighs 36.16 oz.
