I had many students coming to me confused about music theory due to the complexity and redundant naming convention that makes things much harder to learn than they should be. Then there are certain topics which are simply not taught accurately to what we experience in reality (Such as modes\/modality). Students (including three of them with Grammy awards and Platinum albums) asked me to write a book they can use as a reference for what I was teaching them. This is that book. I have a knack for rebuilding systems so they are very easy and logical for learning. I have rebuilt music theory. I address issues we have had with it historically and I also present exactly accurate and scientifically predictable results as evidence of how simple and accurate my new music theory is compared to traditional theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI built a computer program to help associations and to remove any redundancy where you have the same chord or scale named six different ways for instance and I used that to include a reference with every chord in music along with every scale that contains each chord. This allows you to easily see EVERY musical option when that chord shows up while composing and improvising.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eThis book is for any instrument but contains diagrams for piano and guitar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have sent the book out to industry pros and here is what some of them had to say about this amazing book:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003e\"Allen's ability to distill complex concepts into accessible and engaging lessons has inspired countless musicians, including myself.
