I am currently working on a music theory book for adult beginners. I do not want to release too much information about it yet, but it is in progress and I am very excited about it. Detailed updates including title, book overview, table of contents, and sample chapters will be available on the website. If you are on the notification list, you will receive updates on the book's progress as soon as they are available. Thank you.

This book is designed for the absolute adult beginner or as a supplemental text for the college music major. It covers beginning through college level music theory in an easy to understand way assuming no background in music at all. Music students will also find this book much more practical and applicable than many college texts used today.

A few basic topics covered include:

Basic Theory

Theory applied to Harmony

Theory characteristics of major musical eras: Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Impressionism, etc.

Counterpoint

Jazz/Blues

World Music

20th Century

* All concepts are illustrated with an included composition and/or musical examples of topic.

 

More information as the copyright and book progresses.
