So great for beginners!

کتاب جمع جور و خوبیه. ترتیب مطالب خوبه. اما نسبت به کتاب پرویز منصوری کاملا متفاوته و کاربردی تر هستش و خیلی سریع تر هم وارد اصل مطلب میشه. پیش‌نیاز خاصی هم نمیخواد.
برای سنین پایین تر هم همین نویسنده به اسم تئوری موسیقی برای نوآموزان داره که نگاهی بهش نکردم.
اگر مثل من دوست دارید ناخونکی هم به تئوری و هارمونی جز بزنید، کتاب بامداد خوشقدمی در فارسی و تالیفی ها بی رقیبه فقط خیلی فارسیزه شده هست کلمات در کتاب و شاید سخت باشه کنار امدن باهاش

I know music theory now

[Louie van Bommel · Rating 5 out of 5]

The top music book in my collection. A primer on music theory without excessive verbiage. Plenty of exercises which is really what the book is about. Only downside is that you need to buy the answer book or have someone check your exercises.

The author's clear writing makes this potentially complex topic easy to grasp.
