I've learned more about chords from this book in 6 months than I learned in 10 years of formal piano and other instrument lessons! Finally, the mysteries of inversions, 5ths, 7ths and other (to me) formerly foreign terms have been spelled out in such a simple, straightforward manner that even I have been able to attain that delicious "AH HA!" moment! The clear explanations, combined with specific exercises that illustrate the concepts, are just delightful.
What a truly fun way to learn!
Music Theory for Dummies!
05/03/2005 - by Judy Diaz from Huntington Beach, CA
If you ever had to take a class in music theory in school maybe you are more fortunate than I in that and you can remember and apply some of what you learned. For the rest of you I highly recommend buying this book of Sylvia's titled; Music Theory and Arranging Techniques for Folk Harps. Written before the "..... for Dummies" series became so popular, this book takes you easily and with lots of examples and illustrations from major chords to transposing... and everywhere in between! In the introduction Sylvia urges the reader to " Have fun with this book. Just go at your own pace, and take it step by step." Presenting concepts and theory step-by-step is another thing Sylvia does best!!!
