Product Description

The Music Theory series is designed from the ground-up to explain the terminology and musical structures needed for modern applications. Level One is an introductory course which covers music notation, key signatures, basic scales, intervals, modes, diatonic relationships and 3-and 4-part chords. Level Two is an intermediate-level course covering larger chord forms, "definitive" chords in major and minor keys, substitutions, analysis of key centers in tunes, "upper structure" chords, voiceleading, and pentatonic and blues scale applications, a complete glossary of terms, and hundreds of written theory exercises with answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Contemporary Music Theory Level 2 - Mark Harrison, November 22, 1999
This review is from: Contemporary Music Theory - Level Two: A Complete Harmony and Theory Method for the Pop and Jazz Musician (Piano) (Paperback)
Mark continues from Contemporary Music Theory Level 1 to take you through chapters on 'II-V-1' progressions, 5-part chords, substitutions, harmonic analysis, voiceleading, 'upper structure' chords, and pentatonic & blues scale applications in this Level 2 continuation. Again, like the Level 1 book, Contemporary Music Theory Level 2 has very detailed explanations and exercises to test what you've learnt. An excellent series of books by Mark Harrison.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music Theory Without the Classes, March 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Contemporary Music Theory - Level Two: A Complete Harmony and Theory Method for the Pop and Jazz Musician (Piano) (Paperback)
I've played music for years, and now that I'm retired, I wanted to understand more about what I was playing. I picked up Mark Harrison's Contemporary Music Theory Book level 2 and made my way through it. I was stunned to find that I had been instructed incorrectly on several points. That was one reason I purchased the book. I wanted to clean up some confusion I had with theory. Now I've just finished the level 3 book. Mark Harrison's books are structured with achievable learning steps. His lessons are followed up with exercises after the chapter to reinforce concepts taught in the chapter. The answers follow the exercises. This is greatly appreciated because it gives the reader immediately feedback. The reader can check the answers, and if there was an error made, the reader can go back and correct any misunderstanding before moving on. If you want to learn more about music structure and harmony, these books are an excellent source without having to go through music theory classes. The lessons are clearly written out and understandable. These books provide the reader with skills so they can not only understand the movement and progressions of chords, but be able to substitute chords in any key for harmonies they may want. Mark Harrison is an expert. This is the best set of theory books that I've ever seen.
