Customer Reviews

Great theory book
Reviewing this book is saying most what it isn't but what it is. For those who are studying on Berkleeonline.com it's important for you to know that this book is not for the course Music Theory 201, but for the second part of Music Theory 101. It's a great book where you can find lots of examples and exercises, and a cd with all ear training exercises is included. What I don't like at all on this book is that there's no answer keys for the exercises, so you won't know if you did it ok or not.

Anyway, it's a good book to learn basics on Music Theory :)

Enjoy it!

Good book, could've been way better
This is a good book on basic harmony. The information is presented in a clear and concise manner with examples to supplement the text. There are also great excercises for the reader to do as a way of putting the material to work. However, there is no answer key in the book so one has to run the risk of knowing they did it all right. Despite the missing answer key I still feel I gained a lot of knowledge from this book and therefore I'm giving what could have been a 5 star book 3 stars.

The answer key is available
Please be advised that right at the moment I can't vouch for the quality of this book. The other reviews say that other than the lack of an answer key it's great, so I'll go with that for now. I'm just writing to let everyone know that the answer key is in fact available if you email Berklee directly. So that should clear up a lot of problems people have with this book.
