Customer Reviews

I'd say it's a pretty helpful book
Considering that my Materials of Theory I course has been a bomb with out professor this year, I'm pretty happy to have this book as a guide post. I would really be lost in the class without it. The writing is concise, to the point, and there are plenty of clear examples of the concepts that are being outlined. I would definitely reccommend it if you are looking at taking music theory course.

Helpful and Essential accompaniament to the textbook
The exercises in this book are extremely helpful for reinforcing the text. Highly recommended for self-students, and commonly used as a college Music Theory text book.

Hmmmm
The book had a lot of writing in it and it was said be "be like new." It was nothing like new, the pages were very beat up and much of the comb bounding was broken or broke soon after getting it. The book was in horrible condition to be like new.
