Don't read music but want to know how it works? Don't worry. This book was written with the non-reader in mind. It tackles the subject of music theory in a practical way that is easy to understand. Whether you are new to music or just brushing up, this guide shows music theory in plain language with loads of illustrations.
"Music Theory" is the term used to describe the study of how notes, chords, and scales work together to make music. Contrary to the its name, music theory is not some pie-in-the-sky hypothesis about how musicians "should" write music. Rather, it explains how musical tones relate to each other. Music theory does not crimp a musician's creativity any more than learning the alphabet hinders a novelist.
