{"product_id":"music-theory-for-the-self-taught-musician","title":"Music Theory for the Self-Taught Musician","description":"\u003cp\u003eWill Metz's main ambition in his first book, \u003ci\u003eMusic Theory for Self-Taught Musicians: Level 1: The Basics\u003c\/i\u003e, was to define and introduce all the main concepts used in music theory (intervals, chords, scales, modes, etc.). He refers to these notions as \"tools\" because they are what musicians use to create music. Having a clear understanding of these notions is crucial, but it is only the first step . . . One must then understand how to actually \u003ci\u003euse\u003c\/i\u003e these tools and how they are combined and how they interact. More concretely, this book, \u003ci\u003eMusic Theory for Self-Taught Musicians: Level 2: Harmony, Composition, and Improvisation\u003c\/i\u003e goes in depth into the notions of harmony, composition, and improvisation. It answers one of the most common and troubling questions of any musician, that is: What to play in any given musical context?\u003cbr\u003eThis is what music theory is all about at the end of the day—learning a bunch of relatively complex notions would make no sense if they didn’t help to compose and create music. This is not rocket science, and anyone can understand the mechanisms of harmony. \u003cbr\u003eAll of this is explained using the same principles that are in the first book, which means \u003ci\u003eno (\u003c\/i\u003eor very few) notes written on staff and clear, logical step-by-step explanations. As a self-taught musician, Metz would have given \u003ci\u003eanything\u003c\/i\u003e to have this book when he decided to start learning harmony and was dabbling with improvisation. Allow him to save you years of time and trial and error and to finally give you the clear and complete understanding of theory you deserve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hal Leonard Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54226492129624,"sku":"9781493061365","price":38.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781493061365.jpg?v=1764807337","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/music-theory-for-the-self-taught-musician","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
