Customer Reviews

Wonderfull!!!
I am 'musician' for some time. I've had some music education, but that was a long time ago, so I have decided to purchase this book and I was overjoyed with simplicity of Mr. Millers writing. Right now I know some stuff that I couldn't figure out before thanks to great exercises and great examples that are in the book. Instantly I've ordered the other book 'The complete idiot's guide to music composition' from the same author and soon as I get it I will write the review for it.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Theory
This is a very thorough approach to ear training, complete with a CD to demonstrate pitch, intervals, etc. Good instruction on chord-building, chord progressions, transposition, and many aspects of composition. Highly recommended.

Excellent resource.
Couldn't recommend this more highly. Easy to understand with concepts that build upon one another in a logical fashion. Very helpful.
