Synopsis
Music Theory for Self-Taught Musicians describes and explains music theory to musicians and aspiring musicians who did not receive much or any formal music education and don't necessarily know how to read music. It presents a clear, step-by-step exploration of all the tools needed to understand modern music, without the hassle of learning how to ......, It is well known that many musicians, from amateurs to famous professionals, are largely and sometimes exclusively self-taught. Most of the time, these musicians tend to put music theory aside, but there comes a time when many become curious about this science and understand its utility and potential. Unfortunately, they often get discouraged and think it's too late to learn theory, that they needed to start early, and of course, know how to read. Fortunately, this turns out to be completely untrue. Most self-taught musicians will also turn to books and realize many are written for specialists and those who can already read music. They talk about scales and how to write chords on a staff, but if you are not sure what a note is and it takes you twenty minutes to figure out where a C is, it just adds to the frustration. Yet I promise that a late start in learning theory has no impact on the quality of musician you can become and your future ability to understand it. It is not too late! I have also felt this frustration, which is why I wrote this book. It was originally written for my "former self," who not too long ago was desperate to learn theory in a way that would finally be clear, coherent, and understandable, while not having to read notes. This is the book I wish I had back then! I know there are many people who share this feeling, and my main goal is to provide help and clarity. This book is based on simple, day-to-day common sense, and if you know your alphabet and can count to seven, I promise you will understand theory. You may actually find it surprisingly easy, and I can guarantee it will considerably improve your playing and appreciation for music., A simple and logical way to discover, understand, and master the mysterious world of music theory, without reading a single note! To be a successful musician, you don't need to know music theory ... but it definitely helps. Being able to read music and understand the rules and techniques that make it "work" doesn't just help you grow as a performer or songwriter. It also allows you enjoy music in an entirely new way, opening up new vistas of understanding and appreciation while making it easier to communicate with other musicians in a shared language. Unfortunately, for many musicians who have never received formal training, notation and theory can seem intimidating and not worth the effort. Who has time to learn a complicated, obscure code when you already know how to make music? And don't you have to start training very early to master the intricacies of theory? It turns out, though, that it's never too late to learn theory, and it's not as hard as most people think. Author Will Metz only started studying music in his twenties, and in the process he realized that his training as an engineer offered a completely new way to understand and teach theory. This book shares the essentials of Metz's groundbreaking method, demystifying music and explaining key concepts in a way that anyone can understand. If you know your alphabet and can count to seven, you already have everything you need to begin your journey. In this book you will learn how to: Identify different pitches and scales, Read rhythmic notation, Create melodies, Build different kinds of chords and much more!
