Reviewer Permalink
LISTEN...IF YOU ARE NEW TO MUSIC COMPOSITION AND LEARNING TO PLAY IN KEYS/SCALES THAT WORK TOGETHER, THEN THIS BOOK IS AMAZING!!!

I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT CHORDS, KEY SIGNATURES, HOW TO MAKE CERTAIN KEYS GO TOGETHER...BASICALLY I SUCKED AT COMPOSING.

READING THIS BOOK HAS CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER, AND THE CHORD WHEEL ON THE FRONT IS VERY USEFUL.

DONT LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS, OBVIOUSLY IF U ARE A LEARNED MUSICIAN THIS WILL NOT HELP YOU, BUT IF YOU ARE JUST STARTING OUT AND WANT TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE YOUR COMPOSITIONS SOUND BETTER, BUY THIS!!!

Mr. Schulz, you invented nothing. This wheel was originally published at least 60 years ago, and probably invented well before that. In music, we all stand on the shoulders of our forebears.

Hi, D. Shultz "siteswap soroban" i think i should believe what you said. Now i know who is the original inventor. Next time when you got ideas just go and meet the book publishers. Couldn't trust on private colleges anymore.

Anyway, if this is your real idea. I really salute your knowledge and i would give the 5 stars because of your work (not Jim Fleser). I'm so sorry to hear that, i know how hard it feels when somebody stolen our ideas. However, i suggest you gather enough of evidence and try to sue the author.

I bought chord wheel a couple years ago and could not figure the thing out to little explanation and I play piano hoping to help me play by ear better. No luck it sits in the bottom of all my music. I am trying one of the other music books right now.

(Hide Review...)  AHA! I'm no longer bewildered.

I've been trying to teach myself music theory and composition, and I've felt a lot like Little Red Riding Hood lost in the woods. This chord wheel tool was like a beacon in the darkness. Suddenly, so much came together for me. It looks like a thin little thing (the web site has much more info, however), but I travelled lightyears in understanding while reading the booklet in the car while waiting for my son to "just run in and out right quick."

Now I can take better advantage of the computer-based compositional tools I've acquired and have a MUCH better feel for what I'm doing. It's worth every penny and has been of far greater value to me than a ton of other expensive books I've bought. Thank you, thank you, thank you Jim Fleser!
