Contemporary Music Theory - Level Two 370 pages, Item number 1630037DY, $26.95 The "Contemporary Music Theory" series is a product of author Mark Harrison's experience teaching hundreds of students (from beginners to working professionals) at the world-famous Grove School of Music in Los Angeles. The author of the Grammy-winner endorsed "Pop Piano Book" has now created the finest harmony and theory methods available for the pop & jazz musician.   If you really want to understand how harmony and chord progressions work in today's pop and jazz styles, this Level Two course is the best method available. Following on from the Level One course, this book completely derives and explains five-part chords, definitive II-V-I-style progressions (widely used in jazz and standard styles), chord substitutions, harmonic analysis of tunes, voice leading, triad and four-part "Upper structures" (widely used in pop, rock and R & B styles), and pentatonic & blues scales and their applications. Everything is presented from the viewpoint of the contemporary musician and is information you can then use right away in your playing or composing/arranging. To get the best out of the material in this Level Two book, you need to have some familiarity with the music notation, major scales, intervals, triads and four-part chords, as presented in detail in "Contemporary Music Theory Level One" (this information is also reviewed and summarized in Chapter One of this book).   Each chapter in this book is divided into three main sections: 1) Textbook, containing a complete explanation for each subject area addressed, with various examples of how to apply the theory concepts, 2) Workbook Questions, containing written exercises for each subject area, 3) Workbook Answers, containing answers for all the written exercises. This book is ideally suited for self-study, one-on-one music tutoring, and group classes. Appendices at the back of the book list "II-V-I" definitive chords and substitutes in all major and minor keys, voice leading of 3- & 4-part chords around the circle-of-5ths/4ths, "upper structure" chords in major and minor keys, and all pentatonic & blues scales.
