Музыкальная теория, которую вы должны знать перед изучением импровизации: Уровень 1: Основы гармонии и партитуры в мажорных тональностях

The easiest way to learn music theory and start improvising!You can read notes and play a few scales, but get a blank look on your face when someone asks about the second inversion of an Eb major triad? No problem! This book starts at the very beginning of music theory and walks you through the basic foundations of western musical harmony. The book starts by using half steps and whole steps to build major scales in any key. This teaches us how all key signatures are related by the circle of fifths. From there, we get to practice one octave scales in every major key. Next, we learn about major, minor and perfect intervals. Intervals give us the building blocks to create major, minor, and diminished chords. We use these chords to build chord progressions. Using our chordal knowledge, we start to learn simple lead sheets where the left hand plays the chords and right hand plays the melody.Once we've got the hang of those simple songs, we start trying some improvising techniques to change up the melody. First we change the rhythm of the melody, then we change the notes of the melody, then we change both the notes and the melody. This simple, step-by-step book lays out music theory so clearly that any middle or high school student can understand it. With easy instructions and ready-to-go practice assignments and worksheets, all you have to do is pull the book off the shelf and start learning.Level 1 teaches:- Half steps and whole steps- How major scales are built- The Circle of Fifths- One-octave major scales- Major and minor intervals- Major, minor and diminished chords- Arpeggios- Inversions- Chords Within a Scale- Chord Progressions- Reading Lead Sheets- Intro to Improvisation By the end of this book, you will understand the basic foundations of music harmony, be able to read lead sheets in major keys, understand how the harmony is related within each song, and start dipping your toes into improvisation.Have fun learning!
