"I liked reading this book from a musician’s standpoint. I found the included exercises invaluable to a pianist. I could use this with my more senior students. I enjoyed the casual/humorous approach to the methodology. This book could be used as a resource for amateur and not-so-amateur composers."

If you are any of the following, then this book and video package is for you:

A composer looking for crucial tips and information in an all-in-one manual.

• A pianist or keyboardist looking for assistance in how to improvise effectively in ALL keys.

This e-book and video series covers music theory and keyboard improvisation in a diverse, fun and original way. Ready, Set Compose! is a 364 page resource book written in two parts and packed with over 360 figures and charts.

For intermediate to advanced pianists, this book illustrates hundreds of examples of scales and chords that work together. These examples use precise notation and fingerings. Just read the exercises and instantly increase your improvising skills. There's also great advice on chord sequences, modulation, style, etc...

For beginner pianists, the book covers note naming, timing... all that standard stuff to get you started.

For all composers, you get orchestration tips, lessons in counterpoint, harmony lessons, instrument ranges, midi info, music terms, composer history and a ton of other useful material, all in one e-book!

Here's more detail about the e-book:

• Commonly Extended Harmonies
• Technical Exercises
• Modes
• Rootless Chords with Matching Scales
• Jazz Turnarounds
• Shells

... and much, much more.

In part two of this book, beginner composers and pianists can learn basics in music theory. However, the further you read on, the more detailed and beneficial this section gets, especially for intermediate to advanced composers. Here are some of the topics covered:

• How to Begin Composing
• Melody
• Harmony, Including Symbols, Chord Substitutions and Spelling
• Circle of Fifths
• Harmonic and Nonharmonic Notes

Although beginner pianists and composers of all levels can highly benefit from the second half of this reference book, intermediate to advanced pianists will find part one of this e-book insightful with respect to theory, harmony and improvising.

Here’s a sample page from part one of the book:


As you can see, pianists and keyboard players with some training will be able to dive straight in and get familiar with cool scales and chords, with right hand fingering included throughout. Here's a brief video demonstrating the power of cool scales and (rootless) chords:

 

Assuming this type of music theory and notation is too complex for you, part two of this book backtracks and starts from the beginning in a fun and detailed way. Check out these two pages:



Part two is extremely detailed and starts with the very basics. However, things eventually get complicated, as the idea behind part two is to train you to become comfortable with the more complex first part of the reference book. Scanning ahead a bit, these types of topics are also covered:

By the way, here's a little something about myself

Daniel E. Friedman has written over ninety compositions that have been performed across Canada by dozens of orchestras and ensembles. He has also had some of his works performed in the U.S.A. and overseas. As a pianist, he has repeatedly debuted his own selection of preludes and he premiered his piano concerto with the Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber Orchestra in June/ 2011.

In addition to being awarded many composing commissions, Daniel has written for film and arranged numerous songs. He is currently head of a prominent music department in Ontario.

Mr. Friedman began taking an interest in piano and composing from an early age and started formal lessons at the age of seven. At twelve years of age, he found out that he had perfect pitch and decided to pursue a musical career at that point in his life. Daniel is also the co-owner of www.pianolessons101.com, a site dedicated to beginner pianists.

Daniel’s teaching diplomas, Bachelor of Music and Master of Music, came from the Royal College of Music (England), Queen’s University (Canada) and the Peabody Institute (U.S.A.).
