Review: Excellent for the novice. - I honestly have only just begun reading this one. I give it five stars because the teaching method is similar to teachers I have had before where I had the most success in learning. It uses reinforcement, if I am using the correct term. In other words, it doesn’t just assume you recall the terms to the point you have read. I just finished another book on Music Theory and without being critical of the author in that book, who is clearly knowledgeable, I often wished he had done the same in his book. I am I guess about intermediate level, maybe and my music knowledge to this point has helped me. I recommend this book first for all beginners and intermediate level. The book claims it is also useful for advanced musician’s.
Review: Extremely helpful - I'm a beginner piano student starting in my late 60s as one of my new activities of retirement. I've been studying piano in a relaxed way first with an online app, Flowkey, which I will probably go back to and then with a human teacher who I will be leaving soon. There are concepts that I was not able to understand that neither Flowkey nor my teacher were able to explain. An example would be the difference between major and minor scales. Flowkey would say that major scales or pieces written in major keys had a happy sound and minor keys more somber. While helpful there's some subjectivity to this and it didn't explain what makes it major or minor. My teacher explained no further than, "Well, it's a mathematical progression." which again didn't explain much. The book explained very clearly that what makes a scale major is a specific (and easy to understand) pattern of whole steps and half steps in notes. Same with minor only with a different pattern. The book goes into all the detail you need if you're a beginner or even intermediate student. I'm only about a fifth through the book but what I've gleaned so far from it already makes it a good purchase.

Book flowed easily from one subject to the next. A few mistakes but overall a good read. Some of these concepts can be hard to understand. This book helps to make it clearer.
