 The best on the subject!! November 2, 2008
I also was a little concerned about the title since i don't consider my self as an "idiot" in music, but the autor gives you the information so easy to understand and so complete that you may feel more or less like a child (not an idiot)... it's fantastic!!. This book is for everyone, and i mean for any kind of professions; tells everybody how to teach in a manner to reach the goal without pain, something that's very hard to do.
Congratulations, i think this is the very best on the subject... easy to read, concise, complete, and cheap for all that it gives!!
Music Theory - The Complete Idiot's Guige to 2nd Edition November 2, 2008
This is the second copy of this book I have bought. My youngest son got it first and uses it in conjuction with his private classes in viola. Now my oldest son has got his copy. He is self taught and finds this theory book to be of great help.
Really Easy to Understand Book October 30, 2008
My husband has been playing guitar at a pretty beginner level off and on for years. He really wanted to get more knowledge on music theory. A friend recommended this book to him. It has been wonderful. It has really improved his guitar playing and song writing. It explains everything very clearly and in depth. He would definitely recommend this to all beginners.
Well worth the money September 2, 2008
I have to admit I was reluctant to buy this book, because of its title. Never mind the title--it's well written. You don't have to be a complete idiot to understand this book; in fact, you shouldn't be. The author assumes you can think, but that you're coming in pretty close to the ground floor on knowing anything about the topic. I'm almost finished with the book, and I'm very happy I bought it.
By the way, I'm a musician, but with little or no theory background except what I've absorbed accidentally. This book has been really helpful in filling in the large gaps in my musical education.
Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Theory August 30, 2008
I haven't read the whole book, but so far, its very easy to read and understandable. I play piano, so I am familiar with a lot of terms, however, I do not have a strong foundation of theory. This book is a great supplement for me and has made my understanding of theory a lot more enjoyable and interesting.
