Summary: great book
Comment: Definetely the best theory book I have seen. Everything is explained very thouroghly, and there are lots of exercises and examples given. If you go in order of the book, it takes you right from where you need to start, with notation, intervals, triads, etc., and progressively covers more things. I would reccomend this to anyone.

Summary: Might be a good choice if it's the book I'm thinking of.
Comment: I have had some use with Music in Theory and Practice when I was in college, and I found it good. However, my understanding is that this comes in two volumes, and the description does not indiciate if this is volume 1 or 2, so I probably would find another source for buying this book.

Summary: GREAT MUSIC THEORY BOOK
Comment: This book is an excellent work, written by Bruce Benward and Gary White. The explanations are limited to the indispensable minimum and written in a schematic way that makes it very easy to grasp, followed by plentiful musical examples, mostly from music literature that say more than a thousand words, and that is what I like best about this book, despite the theory you have to learn, you know you're talking about real music. It is divided in three parts. The first part, on the first volume, concentrates on the fundamentals of music and it explains very well the concepts of notation, scales, tonality, key, modes, intervals, chords, in a way understandable for any one; the second part, also in volume one concentrates on the structural elements of music like melodic organization, voice leading in four-part chorale writing, harmonic progression and modulation. There are lots of exercises in this book but for people who have no experience at reading music I would recommend, a specific book for that, because the ones on the first part of the book though helpful, aren't enough and you will need that ability to study the rest of the book. (This review concerns the 5th edition of the 1st vol.)
The third part of the book, in the second volume was written by Bruce Benward; it concentrates on analysis methods and analysis of musical examples from the 16th century until present day. I strongly recommend you to also take this part. After you do, a musical piece is no longer just a bunch of notes, or a beautiful melody, you see it as a meaningful organized whole. (see more)
