Recently, a young man, Ryan Taylor, a resident of Mount Storm, came into the library and presented us with a book he had written, “The Theory and Creation of Music; a Comprehensive Guide to Composing Your Own Music.”  Mr. Taylor explained that, when he was studying music, he was unsatisfied with the standard books on music theory, so he wrote his own.  
Ryan holds a Bachelor of Music degree from Berklee College of Music in Contemporary Writing and Production. He was accepted in 2013 with a scholarship and finished the four-year program only two and half years later.
Praise for his book includes:  “Ryan Taylor’s refreshing and innovative approach to education delivers both understanding and experience to the musical seeker. In a clear sequence of steps, he illuminates a pathway that builds from basic fundamentals to high levels of refinement, rewarding newcomers with solid guidance and experienced students with new perspectives. ‘The Theory and Creation of Music’ is an impressive debut by a talented and significant new teacher.”  (Jeffrey Chappell - Director of Jazz Studies at Goucher College.)
If music composition is your passion, you might want to take a look at this book.
