For people with a some knowledge already, or from scratch? (And assuming it's ''western classical" based.) For the former- Harmony and Voice Leading- Aldwell & Schacter. I think this is outstanding. The latter? No real preference- there are a number of good ones. I've used the rather long-titled "Scales, Intervals, Keys, Triads, Rhythm, and Meter: A Programmed Course in Elementary Music Theory" in teaching in the US. I suspect for reading alone there would be more entertaining texts though. Even reading through various curriculum course books for English exams, I've found a lot of them very comprehensive. -- David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk http://homepage.mac.com/davidhornecomposer http://soundjunction.org

Definitely one of the 'intro' style books then, like long-winded one I mentioned. If you taught yourself to play flute that's more than I've done! :) I'm self-taught on the clarinet because someone gifted me one as a kid, and the results must never be listened to! I'm particularly interested in woodwind fingerings at the moment, and have considered buying some really cheap instruments to 'learn' a wide range of them. -- David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk http://homepage.mac.com/davidhornecomposer http://soundjunction.org

What language does that come from? Maybe it doesn't mean 'and' - it could mean 'then', for example, but 'and' was my guess from the context... |
