PACKED with all you ever wanted to know
And a whole lotta stuff you didnt know was out there. If you cant learn to read music with this, you may never learn, because this ones the one is pretty darn good.

IT’S INCREDIBLE!!!
I’m a college student at McNally Smith College of Music, and I read this book a couple of years before I started attending.

Ok
I think it is goes to fast… not as simple as I thought! I don’t know anything about music.

No blues scale
This book did a much better job of explaining music theory than David Harp’s Music Theory Made Easy.

pretty good book
this book is great for explaining music terminolgy, like names of symbols and that sort of thing. it can really help you feel more comfortable, about what you may already have…

A Distilled Text on the Study of Music Theory
Like chemistry or any other science, music theory is complicated but not impossible. For most, the chapters in the book will require more than one read.

“Idiots” vs “Dummies”
I like this book, and I think it does a pretty good job of explaining music theory, but it is lacking in some areas.

Hope this helps
I purchased this for my daughter who is taking music theory in college in hopes it’s explanations help provide insight when needed.

The best on the subject!!
I also was a little concerned about the title since i don’t consider my self as an “idiot” in music, but the autor gives you the information so easy to understand and so complete…

Pretty Comprehensive
I’m an amateur trumpet player just used to reading from sheet music. I knew absolutely nothing about modes, chords, progression, or transposition.
