Music Theory Made Easy ( Modern Worship Series ) - DVD

Understanding the essentials of music theory does not require a four year degree or the ability to read music. Unfortunately, too often this subject is taught in a way that is complicated and intimidating.

This DVD takes a "bottom line" approach to music theory. Paul Baloche takes what he learned from years of study with famed jazz musician and educator Dick Grove and filters it through 20 years of experience as a composer, producer, and recording artist to convey what he and his band actually use on a daily basis.

Concepts are clearly demonstrated with piano, guitar, and on-screen graphics, while ear training exercises are taught by listening to Paul's studio band and live concert footage. Included is a very comprehensive, downloadable companion workbook, packed with additional explanations and written exercises.

Leaving out the non-essentials, Baloche focuses on the critical fundamentals that will help the viewer:

• understand and use the Nashville number system
• see and hear relationships between notes and chords
• hear and feel any modern chord progression
• speak the language of music
• write and arrange your songs more creatively
• have a better understanding of all kinds of music

As one comprehends and apply what is taught on this DVD, they will be amazed at how one's musical confidence increases when playing solo or with a band.
