Here’s how this site is going to flow.
I will pick a book or series of books and I will go through every paragraph and every exercise. I will respond to questions and comments about anything written in any book that we are working through. I will also recommend supplemental reading material specific to difficult, vague or underdeveloped areas of the books we will be working through. I will make every effort to bring clarity to whatever someone is confused about and if I don’t know the answer I will say so and I will seek the counsel of someone who knows more about the subject than I do.
Often when reading these type books alone, the reader will get to something in the book that they don’t understand and if they have no one to ask, they simply quit. One of the main goals of this blog is to be that person that you can ask and get the answers that will keep you moving as far as you want to go. I also hope to elevate your understanding of music and theory to a level where you will no longer need to ask but instead are able to adequately research and find the answers you need for yourself and teach others as well. At some point I’d like to provide video of someone playing through every exercise and example in every book that doesn’t come with a cd or dvd so that you will know exactly how the examples are supposed to sound.
It is my hope that the people who start this journey of musical discovery will, with or without this site, NEVER STOP PEDALING… or at least keep climbing until they reach the destination that they originally started towards.
