Modeled on the brilliant approach first formulated by distinguished
professor of music and master clarinetist Michele Gingras in
Clarinet Secrets and More Clarinet Secrets (both available from
Rowman and Littlefield), Music Secrets is designed for
instrumentalists, singers, conductors, composers, and other
instructors and professionals seeking a quick set of pointers to
improve their work as performers and producers of music. Easy to
use, contributions to the Music Secrets series fill a niche for
those who need quick and easy methods for learning what they need
from those just starting to the advanced musician in need of a
refresher or new insights. Rhythms, melodies, and harmonies are the
building blocks of music. In Music Theory Secrets: 94 Strategies
for the Starting Musician, Brent Coppenbarger offers a full range
of methods to help musicians, not only grasp, but remember those
key elements upon which the music they play is built: pitch,
rhythm, scales, key signatures, and harmony. With over eighteen
years of experience teaching music theory, Coppenbarger offers the
various teaching and memory strategies he has designed to help
musicians understand and retain what they need to know.
Coppenbarger covers critical information on how to determine pitch,
the use of meter, and how to count rhythms in simple and compound
meter; explains major scales and major key signatures, as well as
minor scales and minor key signatures; surveys other types of
scales (such as those used in jazz) and explains how modes work;
presents necessary data on scale degree names and intervals; covers
triads and various types of chords; touches upon Roman numeral
analysis, inversions, and figured bass; presents non-chord tones
and discusses solfege singing, including several pages of sight
singing using various clefs and keys (strongly recommended for
instrumentalists for practicing transpositions for the appropriate
clef and range) demonstrates the different techniques musicians can
use for transposing keys; and finally discusses more advanced
concepts such as part-writing rules, the use of sequences, and
form. Music Theory Secrets: 94 Strategies for the Starting Musician
is an indispensable resource for instrumental teachers wishing to
incorporate music theory into lessons, classroom teachers, high
school and college students, amateur musicians, those wanting to
learn to read music, home-schooled students, and college bound
music students."
