 Would have liked answers for exercises December 11, 2007
This is a good beginning book for music theory. However, as someone using the book outside of the classroom, I would have liked an appendix with answers or samples for the end-of-chapter exercises.

This book is very informative. Whether you are a beginner or advanced musician, or simply someone interested in music holistically, this is an excellent book.
Great Contents, helped my AP music theory June 12, 2006
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I searched this book for my AP music theory. Wow, such a fabulous review material that other basic thoery books couldn't compare. As a matter of fact, I read this book instead of my text book (which was tedious and didn't explain well). I personally don't recommand this book for beginners, it's very fast paced, especially on the basics. However, for college freshmans or those who take equivalent courses(like me), the book covers a wide range of different concepts to certain depth. Some of the wording has to be read several times before u understand. Overall, the book is quite profundity to me except for the front cover.
Nice abridgment August 2, 2005
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is a practical book that summarizes the most important aspects in the Music Theory, Harmony and an introduction to the Musical Analysis. The book is well structured and the explanations are clear and intelligible, for wich it is well adapted for beginners, teachers at college level, and also for those that, not being professional musicians, but they studied this matter years ago, they are looking for an a single-book-abridgment to refresh their knowledge quickly. It only lacks, from my point of view, of an appendix with the answers to the proposed exercises, what would help the self-students a lot.

Most books found on this subject are designed for beginers and are frustrating for those who want to learn more. This book is for those who want more and accomplishes that feat.
