WONDERFUL book! Thomas Dunham I've found as I get older I am much more interested in material that covers theory in a general, instrument-agnostic fashion than I am in stuff that approaches the topic from the perspective of a single instrument (guitar, for instance). For students, it's critical to understand that music theory is just that it applies to everything musical the thing you're using to make that music really is irrelevant.This particular book is packed full of good information, and it's presented in a very slow, methodical, and clear fashion. Honestly at the end of the day, it's written like a textbook. If you already know a lot o. Best Book ever on music theory! Kindle Customer I have read a lot of theory books, seen a lot of videos, trying to grasp music theory. By far this is the best wreitten book I've ever seen and by far Jonathan Peters explains music theory in the most clear and logical way. Hands down buy this book if you're looking for an understanding into basic music theory.. Enjoyable read Wanting to jump back into music decades after my first garage band, I decided to go slow this time and do it right by learning theory and reading sheet music. I really enjoyed this book and the online quizzes are good review material after you wait a couple of weeks. This author has a knack for writing and teaching where many experts who write training books don't.I do wish the book had a bit more depth and rigor but again, maybe that's just because I wished this enjoyable musical guide had taken me further. Had he written a 'second volume' I would have bought it in a heartbeat.
