This book is an introduction to a new music theory based upon the perspectives of an artist which are supported by correspondences between sound and light and the philosophies gleaned from extensive research into the esoteric teachings of Christianity. This book clearly and concisely introduces the basic framework for a completely new, and fundamentally holistic approach to understanding, writing, and learning music. Rather than learning the countless specific rules (and exceptions) and hundreds of historical examples, this approach begins with a practical foundation in the general principles of music theory and encourages one to creatively discover original examples of how the different parts work together as a whole. Most importantly, this works aims to distill the most essential elements of music and to convey them in a simplified manner that grants potential artists a way to penetrate into the mysteries of music.

The main purpose of the book is to explore basic music theory so thoroughly that the interested student will then be able to easily pick up whatever further theory is wanted. Music history and the physics of sound are included to the extent that they shed light on music theory. The main premise of this course is that a better understanding of where the basics come from will lead to better and faster comprehension of more complex ideas.It also helps to remember, however, that music theory is a bit like grammar. Catherine Schmidt-Hones is a music teacher from Champaign, Illinois and she has been a pioneer in open education since 2004. She is currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Illinois in the Open Online Education program with a focus in Curriculum and Instruction.
