The Science of Music: A Practical Look at Music Theory


Add your own review!

Overview

Music theory done as a science. No more gatekeeping. It is an upgrade and contains unique views and a more accurate representation of reality for music based on some interesting findings. This is a better system and more accurate to our reality. Centuries of books labeled as music theory have mostly taught music history, not theory. They teach the outcomes for classical and jazz composers and name them hundreds of things instead. This book teaches the cause instead of a bunch of effects. There is very little standard notation in this book because that has nothing to do with music theory itself. This is for actual music creating and understanding. It isn't music history about classical or jazz composers or outdated notation. It only contains useful information. Allen Van Wert, renowned musician and educator, challenges traditional music theory and offers a fresh perspective that will transform your understanding of music. Here's some of why this book is unique: It explains why there should have never been a minor scale in music - a groundbreaking revelation! Contains every possible sound combination and chord option for unlimited creativity as a quick and efficient reference section. Simplifies complex concepts into easy-to-understand steps, perfect for beginners and experienced musicians alike. Includes a revolutionary explanation of modes, fully understand them for the first time. There are worksheet assignments and a discord server link in case you have questions. Great for ADHD learners. Short chapters and each starts off by telling you why you need to learn this and how it fits in. This is something that helps certain brains to focus and learn best. The reference section is something you will use every day as a musician. This is the NEW Music Theory!

GreazyWil Grammy award winning producer and engineer for Demi Lovato, Muse, Justin Bieber, RHCP, Hozier, Nas, Machine Gun Kelly, Killer Mike and many more ""I don't know shit about music. But if I do it's because I read it in Allen Van Wert's book."" TikTok Reviews: YourMomHatesYou February 8, 2025 2:17 AM Absolutely amazing book. Really helps simplify a lot of concepts. Even as a professional musician with a vast understanding of theory, this book really helped me teach concepts easier to students. Plus a lot of the concepts just make more sense. 100/10 book. Thomas Echols January 25, 2025 1:28 PM Allen did an excellent job of simplifying as well as clarifying music theory for real life application. I've studied music theory for years, but as a neuro-divergent a lot of things just didn't make sense. The Science of Music removes all the ""static"" traditional theory has. BaconBowtie January 16, 2025 6:58 PM Awesome book so far! Love the new take on theory. About time we got an update. natelogston January 11, 2025 12:12 PM I have been making music for 30 years, have 5 studio albums, have written and for Nashville acts and frankly thought I had a solid grasp on theory. This book has flipped it all on its head and has inspired me anew. This is the best theory book out there! spArk chAser September 17, 2024 12:34 PM Amazing book... Music theory was never easy for me. But, this book really cleared up a lot of things with a well thought out Easy to understand explanation. Highly recommend this book for anybody that has become disenfranchised. With traditional music theory lessons...fast shipping jamesandrews9102 September 12, 2024 11:37 AM Everything about this book is awesome, finally someone has demystified music theory so anyone can understand it, I can't recommend this book highly enough, Allen Van Wert is one of the best teachers out there D*****o September 7, 2024 12:51 PM 2.5 year self taught player & this book actually makes sense of the over complicated music theory everyone teaches. This is the music theory book no one knows they need! Please do yourself a favor and pick one up! You won't regret it! Darryl September 6, 2024 3:18 PM One of the most innovative books of our time. The book helps make sense of music theory. By adding science and Theory together there is more organization. I would recommend this book to everyone interested in music.
