“GOOD JOB, Barry! I didn’t have time to read every word on every page, but going through the Table of Contents, Introduction and Chapter 1 Toolbox, it is obvious that this is a textbook that has been long awaited for the music lovers who want to take the first step towards becoming perceptive music consumers. The cool icons and straight-forward language (you grew up in Brooklyn, right?) help connect the abstract terminology and concepts with familiar ideas. I will lend the book to our high school AP Music Theory teacher and then to the 3 middle school music teachers (the choral and two instrumental teachers all teach General Music).

“I like the book a lot – it is a concise, yet comprehensive explanation of everything the average person could want to know about music theory. User friendly – A great resource!
