Harmony Lessons: Book One

Harmony Lessons: Book One is a comprehensive guide to the study of music theory and harmony. Written by John W. Schaum, a renowned music educator and composer, this book is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the principles of music theory and harmony. The book is divided into four sections, each of which covers a different aspect of music theory: basic concepts, scales and modes, chords and chord progressions, and advanced harmony. The first section introduces students to the basic elements of music theory, including notation, rhythm, melody, and harmony. The second section explores the different scales and modes used in music, including major and minor scales, pentatonic scales, and the modes of the major scale. The third section focuses on chords and chord progressions, teaching students how to build and analyze chords, and how to use them to create interesting and engaging music. The final section delves into more advanced topics, such as modulation, chromatic harmony, and extended chords. Throughout the book, Schaum uses clear and concise language to explain complex concepts, and provides numerous examples and exercises to help students apply what they have learned. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced musician, Harmony Lessons: Book One is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to improve their understanding of music theory and harmony.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
