Top Pcmac Reviews

Wait a minute...

By Mkeymont (Pcmac user)

I was happy to see that this finally came out. Then I started reading and came across the first example song. Robin Thicke. Are you kidding me? A music theory book that opens with an example by Robin f'ing Thicke??? The rest of the book might be awesome, I don't know, but my review is going to be based on the fact that the authors somehow feel that the songwriting of Robin Thicke is the best way to open the book. (I'm not a fan of Robin Thicke...) ...however, this IS one of the better functional explanations of some of the more common harmonic mechanisms and how they work. They have developed a nice system for sort of diagramming harmonies and melodies that is backed up with a website with tons of songs broken down for further analysis. It's very well done and I think the app of worth the price. The musical examples are all very basic, piano only. This is a good thing because it forces you to listen to the harmony, not the song or the tone. I wish that they used more classic songs and less current music for the examples. Aside from Robin Thicke, there were a bunch of other more games used that I'm not familiar with. It doesn't really matter though, because nearly all of the examples have lessons to be learned whether you know the song or not. Good stuff!
A-Ma-Zing!!

By Wimmmmmm (Pcmac user)

This is exactly what I've been looking for: all music theory, well explained with plenty of audio-examples. How can you make a chord progression less dull? What does a sus4 chord do actually? How can you mix & match chords from various modes? It's all very well explained. After reading & listening during the last week (on holiday) I'll spend the next couple of weeks at the piano, trying to incorporate all knowledge in this gem!
The Best!

By axeplayer2 (Pcmac user)

Much music theory lacks context. You read it and can’t figure out how to apply it. Either that or you see applications to classical or jazz. The the app apps are fantastic in showing you how theory works in popular music and illustrates with actual songs. Brilliant! The only thing I’d like to see is a lot more on rhythm.
Best way to learn theory

By Onipono (Pcmac user)

I loved this book. I feel like I understand how to use chords now, and how to identify what techniques songwriters are using in the songs I learn. I recommend this and the app 1 to anybody who wants a better knowledge of music theory that isn't so dry like a book.
