***REVISED 2ND EDITION***

Thought is to language as audiation is to music.

Musician, educator, and creator of The Improving Musician Andy Mullen has created a guide for self-starting musicians to learn to hear, think, speak read and write the language of music.

Based on the pedagogy of Dr. Edwin E. Gordon's Music Learning Theory, this long overdue book contains:
*A concise overview and sequential guide for how to learn to audiate
*Tonal patterns and rhythm patterns which form the basis of a musician's musical vocabulary
*An overview of all tonalities and meters
*Explanations of how to improvise within a tonal or rhythmic context
*How to read all of the musical patterns one has already learned to think and speak
*10 Reading Sequences and over 25 Reading Benchmarks which combine tonal and rhythm patterns into "real" music

The Literate Musician is an ideal workbook for music students aged 10 to 100.

The revised second edition contains additional rhythm functions (division/elongations, rests, ties, upbeats), a unit on subdominant, instrumental connections, music theory connections, an updated order, and guidance on navigating the book.
