Great for both beginners and pros!
I'm in 11th grade and have played the piano for 10 years. I've performed at the Lincoln Center in New York City and have accompanied many musicals. Having said that, I realized that I knew everything about music - except the theory behind it. I...

Thorough and Entertaining Reference Book
Based on the reviews, the first book I bought on this subject was Edly's Music Theory for Practical People. Don't waste your money on that book, or you may very well feel like an idiot due to the incomplete and confusing presentation of music...

Wonderfull!!!
I am 'musician' for some time. I've had some music education, but that was a long time ago, so I have decided to purchase this book and I was overjoyed with simplicity of Mr. Millers writing. Right now I know some stuff that I couldn't figure out...

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Theory
This is a very thorough approach to ear training, complete with a CD to demonstrate pitch, intervals, etc. Good instruction on chord-building, chord progressions, transposition, and many aspects of composition. Highly recommended.

Great book!
I've tried several music theory/music composition books, but most authors lose me on what I believe should be easy enough stuff to comprehend. Over the years, though I've wanted to branch out and create my own music, I get frustrated and continue...

Complete Idiots fan club
I have recommended this book to my 15 to 17 year old music pupils, especially those with just performance skills, but little formal background. They really like the info and the tone: not at all patronising. "Really helpful". It's well laid out...
