Review: American Harmonica (Aug 1998 by Phil Lloyd). If you’re looking for a quick & dirty method to make the most progress on your instrument, one of the best things you could do is watch Understanding the Formula of Music. Most musicians just want to play songs. They don’t want to learn a bunch of theory that has no immediate practical application. That’s where Dan comes in. He’s put together this 2-hour video that explains how music works in layman’s terms. It could prove useful to teachers who are seeking some ideas of how to tiem everything together for their students as well. The idea is for the musician to know enough about how music works to be out of the dark. To be good at your instrument, you don’t need 4 years of college theory, so Dan offers the facts & the basics with none of the time-consuming filler. During the course of the video, you can learn quite a few songs, but most of the songs are used to illustrate a point about a chord change or idea. If you can identify a concept with a familiar song, you are likely to remember that concept. The use of split-screen & graphics make it easy to understand what Dan’s talking about.
