"Miss Music Teacher"
Good workbook for the basics
This is a very practical book of theory, but it's not very in depth. I do love that this is a WORKBOOK to let you practice theory concepts, but the staves are too small for most people to use. (see attached pic) I would have to put the book on a copier and blow up the exercises to a usable size for myself or any of my students to write on. This book covers all the basics of theory including melody, rhythm, intervals, different kinds of scales, chords, chord functions, inversions, chromaticism, and modulation . I see a few "holes" though. Nowhere does this book mention the Circle of Fifths. This book also doesn't cover voice leading, counterpoint, cadences, figured bass, or analysis of composed works.
