This review is from: Edly's Music Theory For Practical People - Third Edition (Paperback)
I assumed that I knew a lot about Music Theory from my playing and reading music composition books. However, Edly's brought all that I learned together in a much more organized way. I actually understand how suspended 4ths etc fit with the rest of the chords now as well as the other combinations within an octave.
I am classical and concert band player so I found all of the chords after the 9th to be overwhelming and unimportant for me. But, its there if you want to know it. In summary its easy to understand as it builds from the simple to complex, but has a ton of information as well.

This review is from: Edly's Music Theory For Practical People - Third Edition (Paperback)
While I haven't delved into many music theory books, I found this one to be incredibly helpful while studying music on my own in high school. I purchased the latest edition so I could teach my nephew how to read and understand music. While this book was supplemental to my taking piano and guitar lessons growing up, I feel that it should be required reading for any music student.
Great book: easy to understand because the theory of music is broken down into simple parts. The easy relaxed tone of voice is helpful too.

I started playing the violin a few months ago and knew nothing about music theory. My instructor recommended this book and it's very helpful and easy to understand. Overall, this is a great resource for beginners and I think that you will be able to learn from this book.
