There is an overwhelming amount of music theory!
In this guide I have hand picked the theory essentials you can use RIGHT NOW to play actual music that makes musical sense.
If you’ve ever wondered how and why we use the notes and chords we do… This guide is for you!
This guidebook contains...
- To introduce the fundamental concepts of music theory in a simple, clear way for beginners.
- To help learners understand how and why music “works” (not just what the notes are) — making musical sense.
- To explain core building blocks of music: e.g., rhythm, melody, harmony, intervals, scales, chords.
- To give learners the terminology and conceptual framework to recognize patterns in music (instead of memorizing blindly).
- To build confidence so students can read, listen to, analyze, and ultimately create music with understanding.
- To support the transition from “playing by feel” to “playing with knowledge” — thereby unlocking more musical freedom.
- To set a foundation so learners can progress into more advanced theory, improvisation, composition, and musical fluency.
