    About this series

    Ready for a great leap forward in applying theory to your musical practice? Discover techniques to help bring your visual memory into play.

    Have you suffered from traditional teaching approaches relying solely on aural memory? Do your ears let you down when it comes to naming a chord? With over twenty years' experience, Philip Jackson brings his teaching ability to provide you with the tools you can employ to harness the power of your visual memory. In an easy-to-follow companion series of workbooks, he links the tools to the theory in an easily visualized manner and follows that with practical exercises to help you embed the techniques and gain confidence in your mastery.

    The Workbook: Volume 3 – Minor & More is the fourth book in his Visual Tools for Musicians series and is an accessible and straightforward accompanying guide designed to solidify key concepts from Chapters 11 (Minor Scales), 12 and 13 of Jackson's best-seller, The Circle of Fifths: visual tools for musicians. Paralleling the tone of the parent volume, Jackson encourages diving in and developing skills with exercises and additional tutelage. And by following his practical solutions to common pitfalls, you'll soon gain clarity and approach your new passion fearlessly.

    In The Workbook: Volume 3 – Minor & More, you'll discover:

    • Seventy-eight exercises, with answers, to convert fledgling know-how into deeply understood notions

    • Hands-on training to develop your visualization to grasp the extra richness brought by minor harmony using examples from the natural, harmonic and ascending melodic minor scales

    • A pathway toward relating quartal harmony to pentatonic and whole tone scales enabling you to expand your musicianship by familiarization

    • How to visualize the keys required for transposing instruments in order to let them join in your group without clashing or to adapt a new piece of music for your existing group members.

    The Workbook: Volume 3 – Minor & More is the ideal tool for hitting all the right notes. If you like concrete examples, learning through applying principles, and exciting alternative teaching methods, then you'll love Philip Jackson's finely tuned handbook.
