英文简介：
If you're like many musicians, composers, and songwriters, you've probably tried to learn music theory in the past – but you've been put off by stuffy books filled with archaic concepts and fossilized instruction methods. It's time for a fresh approach. In Hands-on Music Theory, you'll learn practical, contemporary music in contemporary terms – without all the nostalgia for classical methods that are hundreds of years old. Written in friendly, easy-to-understand language, and illustrated with examples that draw on modern tools such as keyboard and fretboard diagrams, this book offers practical, hands-on, easy-to-grasp instruction on key points of modern pop, rock, jazz, and electronic music theory. Throughout, you'll find the instruction aided by familiar musical references, and URLs where you can check out examples online. As author Richard Wentk promises in the book's introduction, you will learn to “think creatively about your own music and get a better feel for the details that matter when writing, arranging, and producing.” Learn today's music theory in today's language, with Hands-On Music Theory.
