Good basic introduction to music theory

This is a simple, straightforward introduction to the language and concepts of music theory, including topics such as musical notation, scales, intervals, modes, and chords. It's suitable for reading straight through as an overview of the subject, and useful to keep on hand for quick reference. Explanations are clear, concise, and easy to understand, and thorough index and table of contents listings make it easy to find information on any of the topics covered. Its compact size (63 pp. and about 6.5 in./17 cm. tall) is another plus. Recommended for beginning musicians or anyone else who wants to understand music theory concepts and/or learn to read music.
