Music Theory Decoded – Strictly by the Numbers – –

Music is a relational language of patterns and distances, all of which can be described using the musical scale and the intervals it produces. You could memorize dozens of keys and spellings and progressions, or you could learn one formula that generates all the patterns. This book is full of ÒHOW TOÉÓ formulas for musical concepts applicable to any instrument. With easy to understand full-color examples and the Intervalometer, included in this book, you have all the tools you need to pass a college-level music theory course, or to compose, arrange and improvise more effectively. Even if you already know music theory, this book will give you a fresh perspective and understanding of why certain musical patterns are so universal.

All musical concepts are explained in terms of both the Major and Minor scales using scale degree numbers. This system is the ÒRosetta StoneÓ to creating intervals, scales, modes, chords, and reading music relatively in any key, on any instrument.
