Edly's Musical Theory For Practical People

Edly's Musical Theory For Practical People By Ed Roseman.... This is for anyone, teen to adult, who wants to learn what's going on inside music -- using an informal, friendly, and often whimsical tone, with lively and plentiful illustrations. Edly's does away with dreary music theory, and makes learning practical and fun! Begins with introducing notes, and moves quickly through into scales, chords, key, key signatures and intervals.

Also included are modes * ear-training * figuring out music by ear * chord substitution * transposition * improvisation * and song forms. Each topic is accompanied by an explanation of what it is, how it's used, and why it is helpful. Illustrated by Peter Reynolds. 164 pages, softbound.
