MODERN HARMONY, EXERCISES I: Basic Concepts, Major & Minor Key (Harmony in Modern Music)
MOVE THEORY INTO PRACTICE
A workbook based on the first three chapters of my book Modern Harmony Step by Step, that will allow you to train music theory in different keys and chord progressions, analyzing and composing songs and arrangements.
WHAT IS THIS BOOK FOR?
Ever since I wrote Modern Harmony Step by Step I had in mind to complete this work with an exercise book. Many readers also wrote me asking for it to put into practice all the theory I advanced in this first publication.The main need was to practice the concepts in different keys, note combinations, chords, etc. To analyze also different chord progressions,chord substitution practice, resolutions, etc.

- Basic concepts: music notation, chord symbols, intervals, major and minor scales and its alterations, key signatures, chords, etc
- Major key: major and pentatonic scales. Triads and 7th chords, tonal functions, secondary dominants, chain of dominants, substitute dominants, harmonic analysis, etc
