Alfred's Essentials of Music Theory: A Complete Self-Study Course for All Musicians (Book & 2 CDs)

Customer Reviews:

Very good but you still need a teacher

By Thomas Martin "sonomatom" - November 4, 2006

I am a total novice who just purchased a piano with the express goal of learning how to sight read and have a fundamental understanding of music theory. These three volumes are generally excellent; however, I agree with the previous reviewer who said the material is often vague (he mentioned 'ties and slurs') - the very same topic that jumped out at me as vague (and the music example was of no help), but it just goes to show that you can't learn everything at home, by trial-and-error, you need a qualified instructor or musician to help you along the way. And I wish the book was spiral-bound.

THE BEST!!

By S. Stevens "dulcidame" - July 31, 2008

This book is the best way to learn theory no matter if you are 6 or 60. You can learn at your own pace doing one or several of the exercises at a time. It covers the basics clear up to stuff you probably don't even want to know. I am a music teacher and I learned things that I had forgotten and other things that I never knew. I would recommend this course of study to anyone interested in learning about music theory.

Excellent book

By xbzz - January 30, 2005

This book is very good for an introduction to music theory. It is well suit for self study. All the answers are in the back. The book only covers the essential topics of music theory. It fits perfectly for me because I want to learn music only as a hobby but need enough theory to know what the other book/people are talking about. It includes 2 CDs for ear-training.
