Extremely well done! For a musical novice like me, who has not learned an instrument or studied music before, this book was a great help. The author does a solid job at making clear both the overall structure of music, western music and that of other cultures, and of explaining a lot of details in clear terms. I learned more even than I had hoped to learn. I'm looking forward to his book on composition for computer musicians, and believe I have a lot better chance of putting things together that Extremely well done!

It's a very well written and organised book on music theory for beginners AND advanced musicians. It might be overwhelming at first, but a couple of passes through this book should get you to a clear understanding of what music theory is all about.

It was ok, a bit long. Other than that it really helped me understand the concept of music and the scales and stuff :/

Very good and clear introduction into the world of music theory! It will give you a great understanding of notes, intervals between them, how we use them form scales and chords. You go through all the popular scales in western music: major, minor, pentatonic & blues... and learn to form chord progressions with them. The book gives you a solid foundation to continue your musical journey.

Very useful book with basic music theory and more.

As I do have knowledge in music theory, I just wanted to revise some English terminology for things and did wish it was a bit more constructed and to the point. But that's just me.

Excellent for beginners looking to start making music in a Digital Audio Workstation.

Excellent book that works as a not very deep introduction into the topic it covers. It could use more exercises though. It's nice that the audio is available online.

Great info on the fundamentals of sound and music theory

4 Stars

If you're a computer musician and want to learn more about the basic structures of music, this could be worth a read. If your not a computer musician, there's probably a better book out there for music theory.

Great book! Perfect for a drummer/DJ turned into a Muscial Producer. Very clear and direct to the point.
(May be a little to basic for more advanced readers)

This is a good foundational book. There is a lot of solid information in here. I did not listen to the cd.
