Berklee Contemporary Music Theory

This book will help musicians of all levels communicate more effectively, learn new music faster, and memorise repertoire more easily.

This approach has been developed and refined at Berklee College of Music since the 1950s and has been used by many thousands of musicians worldwide.

The essential concepts and terminology of music are included together with hands-on exercises and listening recommendations so that you can hear how these principles are used in real music – to help you “see what you hear, and hear what you see.”

Online audio tracks illustrate every concept. Whether you are interested in rock, country, jazz, hip-hop, or any other contemporary musical style, this book will help you become a more capable, more expressive musician.
