Hello, I am Youngjun Yoon, the author of this book.
a composer and producer for RBW, the agency for artists like ONEUS and PURPLEKISS.
I also teach students at an arts university. Additionally, many people know me as the author of 5 Minutes Music Theory for Beginners.

That's how well-known this book is in Korea.
In fact, for anyone in music, Especially popular music,
it's safe to say they're either studying with this book or planning to.
Review
Check out the honest reviews from Korean readers who studied harmonics with this book first.
The reason this book is so beloved is surprisingly simple.
First, it was designed specifically for self-study.
Complex music theory is broken down into very small, easily digestible units, making it accessible to anyone.
For example, while a traditional harmony textbook might cover triads in a single chapter, this book explores each aspect of triads—terminology, four types of triads, characteristics, relationships, and inversions—in individual units.
By following the book’s structure and learning music theory in small steps, readers gradually understand the overall flow of concepts.
Secondly, this book offers high-quality lectures for free.
As mentioned before, this book is designed for perfect self-study. However, learning harmonics alone through a book can be quite challenging for beginners.
That’s why the publisher and I created lectures that explain the entire content. In Korea, this has been one of the reasons the book is so well-loved.
You can certainly learn well from the book alone.
But with the detailed and friendly audio lectures, your study of harmony will truly take off. I’m confident about that.
The English lecture is conducted not by me, but by the book's translator, Emma. Emma is a keyboardist and composer active in Korea and leads a CCM worship team called Worship Flowing.
Here’s the lecture for you
Lastly, this book contains a variety of exercises.
The only way to ensure you’ve truly understood what you’ve studied is through testing.
By solving diverse problems based on what you've learned, you can clearly see what you’ve grasped and which areas need improvement. That’s why this book provides practice exercises at the end of each topic. Often, you think you fully understand something while studying, only to make mistakes when solving problems.
A wide range of exercises is key to strengthening your harmony skills.
The translation of this book reflects a great deal of dedication.
Emma, a musician, managed the primary translation,
and Tia completed the final review. Tia, who was born in the United States and graduated from Pennsylvania State University, also has experience as an idol in Korea.
Many musicians in Korea who had previously given up on harmony theory have shared that they mastered it thanks to this book.
Forget the difficult, complex, and outdated harmony books you've encountered before.
A new world of learning music theory awaits you.
