Handbook of Harmony: Learn to Play by Ear Paperback – January 13, 2023

Ever wonder why after taking years of music lessons you still can't play as good as you would like? Ever wonder how some can play beautifully and they don't even read music?Playing by ear is not a gift from god or some ability that they were born with. This is something that they have actually learned to do through a process called harmonization.Those who can play beautifully, and can play any song without reading music have taken a different music education path than you! This path has origins in the black church and has been underground for a long time. This is a path that many people have taken and has not been documented until now!Moody presents a formal solution that can be followed by anyone. Now anybody can play without years of boring lessons and reading music. Follow the same underground path that so many others have taken. The "Adventures in Harmony Course" is the only course that guarantees results and formalizes a music education path that has been "underground" for hundreds of years.Harmonization is where you take something as simple as a single note, one finger melody, and turn that into a song where you are playing more than one finger at a time. Re-harmonization is where you take an existing song and play it with completely different chords, perhaps for the purpose of giving it a more soulful and contemporary feelIf you have any music reading knowledge or experience, I’m sure that you know that music from a church hymnal that is played as it is written is boring and plain. Have you ever been in a church service where the organist or pianist is reading the music from the hymnal, but you know darn well, that what they are playing is not what is written in the hymnal, and wondered where is the beautiful music that they are playing coming from? They are re-harmonizing as they play!With this course, you are going to discover that the process of harmonization is something that you will be able to do almost instantly after the completion of the course.
