Baltimore, Maryland (PRWEB) February 28, 2017 -- Acclaimed pianist, composer and educator Bill Gordon's book, It’s Music, Not Theory, Damn It! has been the bedrock for hundreds of students learning music, and is now available to everyone. The approach is clear, accurate, practical and fun. Never dumbed down. From fundamentals of pitch and rhythm, through scales and melody, to chords, chord progression and song analysis, presenting the architecture and structure of music in a pragmatic, humorous way that can be put to immediate use by beginners and pros

Music students struggle with understanding music because its presented in a convoluted way. I wrote this book and present these workshops to show that what goes on in most music is comprehensible.

Post this

Complementing It’s Music, Not Theory, Damn It! are his college-level, lively, entertaining and fast-paced workshops, tailored to suit whatever the level of the class, be it novice or professional.

  • Wrestle Any Song to the Ground blasts through music fundamentals, then dissects songs to show precisely what’s happening and what to really call it. Students’ songs are then similarly deconstructed.
  • Piano Playing for the Singer/Songwriter is a hands-on workshop to help piano-playing songwriters accompany themselves better in ease of execution, effective emotional delivery and injury-free playing.
  • It’s Music, Not Theory, Damn It! is a hands-on classroom version of the book covering pitch, rhythm, scales, melody, chords, chord progression, song analysis and production style, showing lovers of music there's nothing theoretical about this magical art.

“Music students struggle with understanding music because its presented in a convoluted way. I wrote this book and present these workshops to show that what goes on in most music is comprehensible. My no-nonsense approach (thank you Berklee!) clears a path to confidently understand what we’re hearing in a song. It provides a solid foundation for anyone’s musical house. Students often tell me the book and workshops remove long-standing confusion.”

  • Basics of the Music Bidniz is a crash course in music business fundamentals looking at professional behavior, copyrights, publishing, contracts, art-meets- commerce, marketing, ethics, and an array of related issues for anyone thinking about a career in music…or simply curious. This is very much an overview class, designed to introduce essential music industry concepts.

“I’ve played professionally since I was fourteen. A conservatory and Berklee education, plus innumerable gigs, sessions, deals, tours and compositions gave me the experience to write and teach the music business course at SAE Institute Miami.”

Books can be purchased at http://www.billgordonmusic.com/books and include a three-hour on-line ear training course. Schedule workshops for 2017 by contacting: [email protected].
