Music Theory Books

[seepiano]

Can any one recommend me some good music theory books? I have been studying piano for a while and I already knew some basic stuffs like intervals, triads, chords, and scales, but I would like to get futher information.

Barbara Wharram - Elementary Rudiments of Music

the best book I have come across- logical exercises, no bullsh1t or fancy language, great for late beginners or pianists with poor theory like me.

this is it..

but, it is really common and almost every music store in town will have it...

Are you sure that the book is really common. I have checked at amazon.com, it was out of print now. The book was published in 1969. Also at amazon.ca, it will take upto 6-8 weeks to ship. And this book is not even in my university library. I will take a look at my local music stores, see if they have a copy or not.


How about "Tonal Harmony" by Kostka and Payne?
