Music Simplicity and Literacy in the Age of Machines
Pre-release copies of my book 5ths First String Theory are now available. You can only get them directly from me at markets I am visiting, shows or on my website. The Workshop Edition features spiral binding for laying flat on a music stand, when it hits Amazon in the next few months those copies will not have spiral binding.
This book is about learning music, ear training, harmony through playing instruments tuned in 5ths like mandolin, violin, cello etc. I believe music is simpler thanmodern society makes it out to be, and simpler than our institutions would have us believe. After years of playing mandolin and teaching my kids I decided to write this book as an introduction to playing in 5ths tuning for students at all skill levels. From experienced players who want another tool in their kit to music educators to songwriters to total beginners. 5ths tuning is not a curiosity, its is not just another “alternate tuning system”, it is the native language of many instruments throughout history and is a powerful educational tool. Order a copy today, or pick one up at a show!
