Overview of this method
This method provides a solid foundation in music theory while maintaining a clear objective: turning harmony into a practical musical language. The journey begins with an understanding of the major scale, then gradually develops the construction of triads, the logic of tonal functions, and chord enrichment (colors, tensions, resolutions). In this way, students learn to identify what they are playing, hear what they are analyzing, and associate each concept with a precise harmonic feeling—essential both for accompanying accurately and for improvising coherently.
To reinforce the skills acquired, the book deliberately alternates between harmony and improvisation sections: a rule is examined, put into practice, and then applied to a chord progression and a phrase. This back-and-forth approach strengthens the ear, the understanding of chord progressions, and the command of musical vocabulary (triads, extended chords, modes), while also developing creativity. The study of complete pieces serves as a guiding thread: rather than simply accumulating concepts, students learn to recognize sounds, choose target notes, build melodic lines, and give rhythmic meaning to their ideas. Ultimately, this progressive approach helps students become more independent, enrich their accompaniment, and improvise more fluidly and musically, with a clear understanding of modern harmony.
