"The complete musician" links to "https:///", just saying.
I'm currently studying from arnold schoenberg's theory of harmonywithout knowing much about music theory beforehand. ...it's quite a dense read, more like a novel than a textbook.

I would be SO GLAD to join this group!!!
Do you agree?
This is a really interesting idea and thread. I'm not sure if I should join, since I'm a beginner compared to most of you, but I'll definitely follow it!
My plan was to:1) Use this thread as a hub. I will revise my first post to link to all subsequent threads. This is where people who want to join can post. Any input about the study group itself would be great.2) Make a weekly (or more often depending on the group) thread for the readings scheduled to be due for that week. We should only keep discussion related to that week's readings. I was hoping every active participant would spend the time to at least make a weekly post containing:-A summary (this can be as brief or long as you want as long as it's well thought out)-Any questions pertaining to the readings-Any comments about the readingsThe reason for this is so we can make sure none of us are learning things incorrectly.
I think 1 thread for the all readings would be a pain in the ass to search through. My main concern is that it would be awkward for new people to join in about what they're studying 3 months down the line when we're studying binary forms for example.I am very fascinated about the "doubts" page. Is that self-doubt? Or doubt about the study group itself?
@keypeg: Your idea to look at pieces and derive theory from it is fantastic. Perhaps we can all pick pieces and cite examples in our summaries.
I do understand (and mussels_with_nutella) concerns. I am definitely open to switching The Complete Musician to something that we can easily get for free on the web. It must be thorough though.
I've gotten a hold of a pdf of the 2nd Edition of The Complete Musician online through Scribd. Can anyone offer suggestions on how to share a 46MB file?
I've edited the main post to link to the thread for the first week of submissions and discussions.Readings:BMT: Chapters 1-9H&T: Chapter 1If everyone who is listed as an active participant agrees, we can increase the number of chapters. Just speak up in this thread if you think the current rate of discussion is too slow.
This is an interesting idea, but it seems like you'd benefit a great deal if you had someone to guide your group.
The sheer quantity of material is also very ambitious. Wouldn't it be better to focus on one thing at a time instead of promising yourself a million things and accomplishing very little?
I'm definitely qualified, but that would be a LOT of work. I'd be happy to help, but probably in a more limited capacity.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
