While this item is required for classes, it contains numerous misprints and is so wordy, even the professors don't like to teach out of it. I would suggest getting something else as a reference if this book is not required.

This is the textbook The Musician's Guide to Theory and Analysis 2nd Ed. This helped me get through the first 2 semesters of Music Theory and will help me get through my next 2 semesters of Music Theory, unless I'll need a new book. l enjoyed the way this book has bullet points to emphasis parts of each chapter along with a summary with questions and terms for each chapter to enhance the learning experience!!!
