Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever. Not so fast, I'd say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration.
Anyway, you still use Lorem Ipsum and rightly so, as it will always have a place in the web workers toolbox, as things happen, not always the way you like it, not always in the preferred order.

Helpful and concise
Extremely concise review. Not recommended for beginners. But it’s perfect if you want a no-nonsense summary of basic theory.Uses British terminology which is slightly different than American (but actually makes more sense…as others pointed out, a quarter note is often not really a quarter beat so should it be called that?)

Really Nice Introductory Text
I have previously purchased a number of music theory books and this is by far the best introductory text I have found. It is concise, gives clear descriptions and good background information. I have just received part II which also looks to be very good (but I haven’t spent too much time with it yet).

Great music theory book for beginners!
Love it, very easy to understand. Great for beginners. Compared to “S. M. Kostka, D. Payne. Tonal Harmony. McGraw-Hill Education, 2008.” it is very inexpensive.

Fab book
I am so happy I purchased this book. I plan on buying the rest in the series. Recommended for a student with a bit of music background.

Recommended to me by my guitar tutor. Starts off simple but quickly becomes more in depth. I have had to re-read a few chapters to get the info into my head.Written plainly so it is easy to understand and no waffle.

This is an excellent music theory encyclopaedia. It should be viewed as an accompaniment or back-up to a theory workbook NOT as a stand-alone textbook, especially if you are a beginner.
