Music theory is very practical and useful for beginners, I'm very happy to study music theory with this book, the lessons are very clear and the enclosed CD help too much in understanding the theory concepts. Good choice.

5 out of 5 stars THE BEST!!   July 31, 2008

This book is the best way to learn theory no matter if you are 6 or 60. You can learn at your own pace doing one or several of the exercises at a time. It covers the basics clear up to stuff you probably don't even want to know. I am a music teacher and I learned things that I had forgotten and other things that I never knew. I would recommend this course of study to anyone interested in learning about music theory.


5 out of 5 stars Easy to understand   June 16, 2008
Book is basic but if your looking to learn musical notation, or a musical instrument on your own, this is a great starting point. it's all here in a easy to understand presentation.
