Description
The definitive music theory book that will help you acquire knowledge that will be useful in all aspects of performance, improvisation, composition, and arranging!
When playing non-classical music such as jazz, pop, or rock, knowledge of chords and scales is often required. The three pillars of "instrumental technique, musical ear training, and music theory" are essential for all players, and if any one of them is missing or not up to par, your progress will be delayed.
The purpose of this book is to teach the basics of music theory, starting with understanding the relationship between chords and scales. This book begins with the preliminary steps of intervals (pitch), the harmonic series that forms the foundation of harmony, and basic notation, allowing even those who are not good at reading sheet music to progress step by step. By the end, once you understand the scales and chords presented in this book, you will have covered almost all the scales and chords currently in use.
Music theory can seem a little intimidating, but this book provides thorough, detailed explanations that make it easy to understand even for self-study. I recommend this book to all aspiring players who want to improve, whether they want to respond confidently to various situations or want to refresh their knowledge of music theory!
