Good Condition – Ex-library book in good condition. Light cover and edge wear with minor corner creasing visible.

Written by Paul Schmeling, Chair Emeritus of the Piano Department at Berklee College of Music, this workbook distills over 40 years of Berklee's music theory teaching into a clear, practical course. It covers notation, scales, intervals, key signatures and the circle of fifths, presenting each concept through notes and rhythms as they're actually heard in pop, jazz and blues rather than dry abstraction. With hands-on written exercises and ear training built in alongside the accompanying audio, it's designed to build real musical understanding step by step, making it a trusted resource for students, self-taught musicians and teachers alike.
