Synopsis

Harmony Simplified offers a practical, step‑by‑step approach to learning harmony.

Focused exercises and clear guidance help you move from understanding chords to using them confidently in your own music.

Designed to build a working knowledge of chord construction and its practical applications, the book emphasizes skillful modulating, passing tones, and other techniques through an orderly study plan. It also integrates analysis and form to show how ideas unfold in real music, not just in theory.

• Practical application: turn theory into playable, improvised and composed music.
• Structured study: follow a sequence that gradually expands your chord vocabulary.
• Hands‑on practice: combine keyboard work, writing, and analysis for fuller understanding.
• Form and analysis: learn how themes, motives, and phrases shape musical structure.

Ideal for readers beginning their study of harmony or seeking a clear, usable foundation in theory and ear training.
