Good music theory bookReviewed by Rvwr, 2008-01-15
This is a great basic music theory book if you are teaching yourself. Everything is broken into smaller, more comprehensible pieces.
The best...Reviewed by RW, 2007-03-18
Barrett's practical and accessible books show how good he is as an
instructor. I own his books on Music Theory and Guitar Fretboard
and these are THE BEST that I have seen on music instruction...
period. Difficult concepts are broken down into small steps and
driven down using the workbook approach (i.e. written practice)
with the answer key included. When I look for new stuff I check
first to see if Barrett has written about it. I've also found books
by Mark John Sternal to be very good.
I hope Barrett (and his publisher) continues to produce more
advanced music instruction material, and arranges his books into a
"recommended" program. The workbook format works great and can be
complemented by cds, dvds, web instruction, computer music software
(sonar, cubase?) etc.
