- Comprehensive Working Tool: a "score + CD" package to progress independently, during music training courses or as a complement to an instrument.
Summary of This Book
This book offers an accessible and progressive approach to the fundamentals of music theory, with a clear objective: to transform sometimes abstract notions into immediately audible landmarks. Essential themes are addressed in a structured way, notably the concepts of reading and writing (landmarks, understanding musical discourse), as well as the basics of analysis useful to any musician wishing to gain autonomy.
The harmony section emphasizes cadences and harmonic progressions: you learn to identify tensions and resolutions, understand the logic of chord progressions, and connect what you see on the score to what you hear. This bridge between theory and practice is reinforced by the CD excerpts, which illustrate each important point with short and expressive musical examples.
The work on scales and modes (and their functioning) allows exploration of sonic colors, characteristic degrees, and typical uses in contemporary music. By combining explanations and listening, this resource helps better recognize modal atmospheres, enrich your musical vocabulary, and better understand melody construction.
Designed for students in music training, curious instrumentalists, and self-taught musicians, this book is suitable both for guided use with a teacher and for personal study. It is an excellent complement to consolidate fundamentals, develop the ear, and give meaning to reading, writing, and analysis in a concrete musical context.
