Edly's Music Theory for Practical People

Bound so it'll lay open on a music stand; written so it won't lay closed on a shelf!

Edly's is for anyone, teen to adult, who wants to learn what's going on inside music. This includes players and singers of any level desiring a deeper appreciation of music-- rock 'n' rollers wanting broader musical horizons, jazzers needing more knowledge of chords and scales, theory students needing supplementary help, or classically trained folks wanting to branch into popular styles or to read from fake books.

The 164 page soft-cover book begins by introducing notes, and moves quickly into scales, chords, keys, key signatures and intervals. Also included are modes, ear-training, figuring out music by ear, chord substitution, transposition, improvisation, and song forms. Each topic is accompanied by an explanation of what it is, how it's used, and why it is helpful.

Here's a more detailed list of included topics:
scales: major and all minor scales, natural and artificial modes, pentatonic, blues, diminished, whole-tone and hybrid scales
chords: triads through thirteenths
quick guide to legible manuscript
twelve bar blues forms
diatonic and chromatic (including tritone) chord substitution
intervallic and chordal ear training
interval and chord inversion
the circle of fifths
chord functions
secondary dominants
transposition
cadences
