We hope that reading this book has inspired you to continue learning and thinking critically about music. From secondary dominants to borrowed chords and modal mixture, the ideas in Hooktheory II go a long way toward illuminating the principles that go into writing great songs and explaining how popular music works. While this book has focused on teaching through popular songs, the concepts you’ve learned are common to many other types of music as well. From classical to jazz to blues, all are built from the same foundational ideas that link much of the music we listen to.
Remember that if you ever need inspiration, you can go to the Hooktheory website. Hooktheory has a huge library of popular songs written out with the same notation used in this book. You can also take advantage of Hookpad, Hooktheory's intelligent musical sketchpad that helps you create amazing chord progressions and melodies.
We hope you’ve enjoyed reading Hooktheory II.
