Description

Book with online audio & video. A “hands-on” approach to music theory with lots of playing examples for banjo. Music theory does not have to be mysterious or difficult. Taken a little at a time, its easy and fun, plus you’re encouraged to jump around and spend more time in those areas that interest you most. Each of these 50 lessons has a limited scope, but by the time you complete them, you’ll have a thorough understanding of the basics of music theory. Covers topics that address the needs of most beginning banjo players: scale theory, reading tablature and standard notation, key signatures, accidentals, transposition, time signatures and note values, intervals and chord construction, pentatonic scales, more. Each chapter features playing examples and review questions to test and clarify your understanding. Mostly diagrams with some note/tab. 160 pp.
