Progress Update

I borrowed three books from the library today:

• The Dance Music Manual by Rick Snowman
• George Clinton and P-Funk by David Mills, Larry Alexander, Thomas Stanley and Aris Wilson
• Emotion and Meaning in Music by Leonard B. Meyer

Having identified a lack of knowledge in music theory, I have spent the best part of today reading The Dance Music Manual which has taught me a lot about dance music theory and the underlying principles of basic music theory such as scales, notation, chords, relationship between notes, tempo and time signatures, creating melodies and motifs and so on. I have taught myself all the major chords on a piano today using this book. I expect that by reading this book, I will be able to improve the results of my production work by a significant margin.
