originally self-published in 2006 It came with a CD that had 32
demonstration tracks which helped students understand concepts from the
book. The CD was no longer included when the book became available
worldwide on Amazon in 2017.
Now the
original CD is available through this series of videos. You are

WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK I like to
help people. Ive been teaching music since I was in high school. I
came from a family of music teachers, my mother & father and three
of my grandparents.One day in 2006, I realized I had acquired a huge
amount of knowledge about music and I came to the conclusion that I
needed to take responsibility for that by writing a book which would
help others achieve this knowledge.
As a
working musician and teacher, I was frustrated with the complexity and
difficult learning curve of music instruction books available to the
general public. In my formative years, I studied many music theory
books. Although they contained important data about improvisation and
composition, etc., they were often written in an over-complex way. These
books would include non-essential data and werent organized in a
logical sequence. For example, a book would mention an important term
on page 35 but not define that term until page 115.I decided to write my
own textbook to help train my students.
My
book starts at the beginning and goes through to super advanced data in a
step-by-step fashion. I made sure to define each new term right when
it was first introduced. I included only essential theory. And, perhaps
most important, I included simple yet powerful practice methods each
step of the way.
The result: students and
teachers rave about how "The Complete Guide to Learning Music" makes
music instruction easy.I use "The Complete Guide to Learning Music" when
teaching private lessons to debug areas of non-comprehension, producing
startling results with my students.
This
reference and musical training manual is used by keyboardists, singers,
guitarists, drummers and percussionists, horn, string and woodwind
players to break through the wall of musical complexity to actually
attain their musical goals.
You can master the secrets of playing, improvising and composing.
