Book Reviews of Edly's Music Theory for Practical People
Book Review: Great for Jammers, and those intimidated by Jazz!
Summary: 4 Stars
Like many a piano player, I learned to play by imitation, that is, imitating what my piano teacher taught me to do as a 9-year old. Ten years later, in my first `college band', I finally learned how to improvise and actually create music by taking a Jazz improvisation class. If you have time to take a class, do it...if not, buy this book. Perhaps this would be a bit complex for the complete novice, but if you're like me, (a person `classically trained' with little knowledge of how music is actually made) then this book is great.
If you're a pop composer and always wondering why you go from C to A-minor, to F, to G, then back to C, this ACTUALLY explains it! Even better, it explains what other chords you can play to make your progressions more interesting. Heck, you may even write a Jazz tune while you're at it.
A definite thumbs up.
Not 5 Star...
-A CD would be nice to accompany the various voicings of scales,etc
-Should have more variety of example songs besides `old susana'
-Could have gone deeper into music history, other than simply stating "most music is composed of the I, IV, and V chords."
