Description
Although it is significantly expanded from "Introduction to Music Theory"/ this book still covers only the bare essentials of music theory. Music is a very large subject/ and the advanced theory that students will want to pursue after mastering the basics will vary greatly. A trumpet player interested in jazz/ a vocalist interested in early music/ a pianist interested in classical composition/ and a guitarist interested in world music/ will all want to delve into very different facets of music theory; although/ interestingly/ if they all become very well-versed in their chosen fields/ they will still end up very capable of understanding each other and cooperating in musical endeavors. The final section does include a few challenges that are generally not considered "beginner level" musicianship/ but are very useful in just about every field and genre of music.
