{PRETITLE} The Chord Wheel: The Ultimate Tool for All Musicians {POSTTITLE}

This is an incredibly easy intro to music theory. It shows which chords sound good with other chords. It shows how simply folk and rock songs are put together (3 or 4 chords, usually). I'm an "adult beginner" on piano and keep it on the piano at all times. It helps me figure out how to accompany myself once I've picked out a tune. I may even be on the verge of composing a song, thanks to this simple tool. Changing keys seemed impossibly difficult until I got this. (If you've ever wondered what is meant by the I, IV, V chords, get this and life will make sense.) Most of all, it's fun. Highly recommended.

I bought this book hoping to find something useful for my theory students. To my disappointment, I discovered a wonderful spinning cover attached to a 12-page book of poor and incorrect writing. I have all of the background I should possibly need to use this book. I have good command of the English language and a masters degree in music theory and choral conducting. I don't say this to make myself sound smart (I make as many dumb mistakes as the next guy!), but to show why I expected to be able to make clear sense of the book's contents. Unfortunately, the text of the book, which appears confusing at first, turns out to be hard to follow because it is riddled with grammatical errors. Paragraphs lack coherence, misplaced commas make the sentences hard to trace, and sentences lack subjects and objects. The entire text is filled to the brim with unsupported claims, and most disturbingly, not all of the theory inside of those pages is actually *correct*.

For a beginning theory student trying to get his or her head around the circle of fifths, this can absolutely be a useful book (as long as it remains closed). The spinning wheel can help the beginner to navigate the circle and its relationships successfully, but students beware! The wheel is only useful for the major keys. The minor key relationships, which typically take up half of the time in a theory 101 class, are missing entirely.
