As an online and university class, Dr. Allen has had over 50,000 students use this ground-breaking curriculum to learn music theory. Students and Producers who have wanted to learn music theory to improve their own music, but have been intimidated by traditional approaches, music notation, and abstract concepts will find this book to be the answer they have been looking for. From the Author: “How music theory is usually taught is unfair. It starts with the assumption that you can read music and understand the language of classical music. My book leaves all of that behind – focusing only on the MIDI grid that producers are already familiar with to learn all the key concepts of music theory, and ultimately, make better music.” This book covers all the fundamentals of music theory but is written using the language of the DJ and Producer – the MIDI Grid. It includes “analysis” projects that look at the harmonic and melodic ideas in songs by popular producers including Zedd, Boards of Canada, Daft Punk, Deadmau5, Bonobo, Richie Hawtin, Moby, Skrillex, and Aphex Twin. Praise for Music Theory for Electronic Music Producers: “Aspiring electronic musicians have choices to make when it concerns their own education and training. This text makes one choice much easier: start here and get learning, quickly. Grounded and easygoing, the book uses real-world examples to help you make sense of music’s inner workings while steering clear of dense theories.” – Michael J. Ethen, PhD Musicologist “This book knocks the oftentimes alienating world of music theory completely onto it’s side. Difficult to explain concepts are perfectly demonstrated for the aspiring electronic music producer who might have no formal music training. A must-have for all aspiring producers.” – James Patrick (DJ, Producer, Educator) Slam Academy, Dubspot, IPR, Ableton Certified Trainer “With Music Theory for Electronic Music Producers, Dr. Allen has produced a remarkable resource: an extensive tour of musical theory that leverages some of our favorite modern tools – the virtual studio and it’s piano roll note display. By introducing us to the “why” as well as the “what” of music theory, this book helps us to understand what makes music tick and how to improve our own work. In addition to offering a sound theoretical foundation, the deep dives into analyzing tracks by Skrillex, Aphex Twin, and Deadmau5 keeps our attention focused on real-world production. MTEMP will definitely go on the top of my recommendation list for anyone that needs a fresh view of musical concepts.” – Darwin Grosse Director of Education, Cycling ’74 Review: Great music theory book for non-music people - I've never done anything with music in my life (other than listening to it) and just started working on learning to DJ, which has led me to wanting to remix and mashup edm songs. This book is perfect and explains it well for non-musicians. The only thing I don't like is in my edition, the screen capture of the ableton stuff is in grey tones, but the book mentions "note the orange square" but I was able to figure it out. I recommend this book Review: Essential - As an electronic music production hobbyist and prior high school musician I had a low level concept of music theory. Ive purchased several other music theory books to up my knowledge but this one clicks the best. Seeing the theory displayed in a DAW piano roll vs treble/bass clef helps me retain the concepts so much better. Dr. Allen’s teaching style is excellent in helping to understand & retain the concepts. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #153,654 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9 in MIDI & Mixers #55 in Songwriting #110 in Music Theory (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 604 Reviews | ## Images ![Music Theory for Electronic Music Producers: The producer's guide to harmony, chord progressions, and song structure in the MIDI grid. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61weuwWhm7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great music theory book for non-music people *by D***K on January 12, 2025* I've never done anything with music in my life (other than listening to it) and just started working on learning to DJ, which has led me to wanting to remix and mashup edm songs.
