Edly's Music Theory for Practical People

This practical approach to music theory is refreshingly easy and fun to use! 37 chapters, in just under 200 pages, cover everything from musical intervals, scales, modes, and song forms to transposition, chord voicings, voice leading, improvisation, and harmonic analysis. The author's scholarly yet light-hearted narrative goes directly to the meat of the subject with no-nonsense explanations, clear examples, historical references, and even funny cartoons. This terrific book removes the stuffiness and mystery from the study of music theory and serves as an inspiration for any music student, performer, composer/arranger, or teacher!
