Review from a Music Professor

 The Ultimate Do it Yourself for Music Theory, January 8, 2002
By Robin Giebelhausen (Illinois) - See all my reviews

Jonathan Harnum has taken an overly complicated subject matter and made it learnable for anyone. And I do mean anyone!!
I have been a student of music for over 13 years and a teacher for 3 and I found myself finding new and interesting (and humorous) facts about music theory. This book can teach anyone music theory and keep a smile on their face the entire time.
