Product Description
This book is an excellent learning tool for both the beginner who has no experience with music theory, and the intermediate student looking to expand their knowledge of music theory. An easy to understand section is included especially for the beginning student, which sets forth the basics of music theory, thus laying the foundations for the exercises. From simple construction of basic intervals to advanced chord structure a student is required to write out and play each exercise on their own instrument. All answers are included enabling the student to check his or her own work.

Muse Eek Publishing Company also hosts two on-line resources in conjunction with this book. A "Frequently Asked Questions" page (FAQ) is available where students can ask the author questions that may arise as they work. There is also a free "member's section" with downloadable files specific to this book, as well as many other help files for the furtherance of music education.

Unlike traditional situations where the reader is left on their own after purchase of a text, Muse-Eek Publishing seeks to keep the reader/student engaged and interactive with the author. With each book you are beginning a relationship in which help and direction is always available to make sure you are learning correctly.

This book is a recommended for beginning to intermediate music students ages 13 and up.

From the Publisher
Whether you are a beginner, or an advanced student seeking to improve your music theory knowledge, the only way you will make music theory a coherent natural process is by working with it repeatedly until it becomes as automatic as speaking in your own language. Music schools raise students to this ability by giving them the same information presented in the music theory section, and then spending 1 to 2 years giving them theory assignments in order to ingrain the information. This book does the same thing by giving you 100 pages of exercises. It's not enough to understand how each chord and interval is built; you need to do all the exercises. That is how you will gain a command over the information and will be able to instantaneously say what the notes in a chord are in any key. At that point, your proficiency with music theory becomes a reflex and is very much like speaking. You don't think of every word when you say a sentence, yet you could easily stop and explain any word that you are using. This is the same process that happens when you master the music theory information presented in this book.
