“As a beginner/intermediate pianist, I absolutely love this music theory book. It explains one thing at a time starting with simple theory and gradually it becomes quite complex. Many graphics along the way to have a better understanding as you are reading but always best to practice on your piano.
This is not a book to read from beginning to end. I use it as a "study" book.
While learning your instrument, I recommend to read one Chapter at a time until you fully understand the topic until moving on to the next Chapter. If you have to back track on a few things, don't worry it's normal. Music theory takes time to understand and apply. Take your time and enjoy your instrument.”
