Music Theory for the Self-Taught Musician

Más información sobre el libro

Will Metz's ambition in his first book was to define and introduce key concepts in music theory, referring to them as "tools" for musicians to create music. Understanding these concepts is essential, but the next step is learning how to effectively use and combine them. The follow-up book delves into harmony, composition, and improvisation, addressing a common challenge for musicians: determining what to play in various musical contexts. Ultimately, music theory serves to clarify complex notions that aid in composing and creating music. It’s not overly complicated; anyone can grasp the mechanisms of harmony. The explanations are straightforward, using the same principles as the first book, with minimal notation and clear, logical step-by-step guidance. As a self-taught musician, Metz wishes he had this resource when he began learning harmony and exploring improvisation. This book aims to save readers years of trial and error, providing a clear and comprehensive understanding of music theory that every musician deserves.
