Press Reviews ABOUT WHAT MAKES MUSIC WORK -- a self-teaching guide to music theory-- "A lucid, well-organized introduction to music theory" --American Library Association. "I always loved music; thank you for helping me understand it." -- John Giunta, North Bellmore, New York. "Your publication is absolutely excellent." - Jennifer Linton, North Eastham, MA. "Thorough and understandable." -- Valere Meyer, Toledo, Ohio. "I've read What Makes Music Work and it was wonderful." -- David Odera Okumu, Naivasha, Kenya. "It has helped me with theory a great deal. For instance, I now understand how to compose a song using motives, and I value the section on chord progression and harmonization.  Thank you ever so much for writing this book."  Steven Flowers, New York, New York "Understandable yet deep. This is a great book. When I first saw this book I thought it seemed too basic. It starts out with pitch and moves on to rhythm. These are things I know about, I play piano. But soon, as I was reading the book, I found easy to understand discussions of Mixylodian Modes and I-V-vi-IV-V-I chord progressions. Its lucid explanations of tough concepts make this an easy 5 stars. A great book for beginners to music theory (like me). " -- Robby Walker, Glendale, AZ
