How Music REALLY Works!, 2nd Edition, focuses on specific techniques a player, vocalist, or songwriter can use to seize the attention of listeners and move them emotionally.
For the benefit of the majority of musicians (amateur and pro) who do not read music, the book contains no music notation. Instead it provides in-depth, visually-oriented, easy-to-understand (and humorous!) text and graphics covering every important aspect of music-making and lyric-writing.

The book has 4 major divisions. PART I: The Big Picture; PART II: Essential Building Blocks of Music; PART III: How to Create Emotionally Powerful Music and Lyrics; PART IV: Making a Living in Music.
