The complete Idiot’s guide to music theory
on: March 21, 2006, 03:09:11 PM

I am looking for a music theory book.  I had one class back in high school over 15 years ago.  But I can still read music and everything, but I am looking to go a little farther.
Is this book at my level, or will it be just a review?

The complete Idiot’s guide to music theory,  by Michael Miller

Hmmm. If other books in the "idiots guide" series have worked for you, then this might also. Usually I find them a little off-putting.  I don't like authors assuming I'm an idiot right off....must be my huge ego  ;)

Try this on: "Harmony" by Walter Piston.
