Basic Music Theory: How to Read, Write, and Understand Written Music

“Fun and engaging. A real winner!” —Terrie Lyons, PhD, P.C.

“Jonathan Harnum has taken an overly complicated subject matter and made

it learnable for anyone. And I do mean anyone! Harnum de-cryptifies all that

is involved with music theory for the non-musician. But this book is not just

for the non-musician. I have been a student of music for more than 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.”

—Robin Gibelhausen, music teacher, Illinois

“Basic Music Theory by Jonathan Harnum is an excellent book for people of

all levels. I have played various instruments over 24 years and because of

Harnum's matter of fact, conversational tone, this book has lent more to my

understanding of basic music theory than all my private instructors

combined.” —Solstice 1221, Anon. reader in LA

Read what folks have to say about the Music Theory book

versatile enough to be used by middle schools, universities,

and adults!
