Tonal Harmony (and buy the workbook to practice, doesn't really work to just read it you need to study it like math, lots and lots of practice problems and exercises)
Stefan Kostka, Dorothy Payne
McGraw-Hill Education, Feb 1, 2008 - Music - 736 pages
For nearly two decades Tonal Harmony has been the leading text for the two-year theory curriculum for music majors. Used at nearly 800 schools, Tonal Harmony has been consistently praised for its practicality and ease of use for student and instructor alike. The straightforward approach is supported by well-chosen examples and thoughtful exercises, and the total presentation is compatible with differing teaching styles and theoretical points of view. In addition, a set outstanding ancillaries, which include a collection of audio examples on CD (for both the text and workbook) and an extensive Instructor's Manual, round out the comprehensive teaching package.

Understanding the fundamentals of music by Robert Greenberg is a wonderful video series. Starts slow, but it's fun. Halfway through, it gets much harder. It is entertaining and I learned so much. It's from the great courses company. My library had it. You do need to watch it more than once and I think it's worth the money, but you know, I can get it at the library and I like free better. The instructor is a lot of fun. I can't overemphasize how worthy I found these DVDs.
