Summary: In the curriculum
Review: I have been playing keyboards for about three years. I've taken a few lessons, but I'm mostly self-taught. The more I have learned, the more I want to know. You get to the point where you would like some structure. Both structure in the sense of an orderly accumulation of knowledge and in the sense of where does what I know fit in?This is your book. It starts off very basic- how scales are constructed. Good comprehensible explanations of diatonic triads. The first explanation of modal scales that made sense to me. Good practice recognizing and writing inversions. Also four part chords, suspended and altered chords. The best part is that after I completed this book I found my practicing much improved because I had a far better understanding of what I was playing. I highly recommend this book for beginners or early intermediate players.
