This is a great little book

This book explains key music theory in a very straightforward and simple way. Provides very practical information. Probably best and most useful for beginners and early intermediate pianists.

I’ve had a “music slide rule” for decades and thought it had the circle of fifths on it, but this book makes it so clear. My “music slide rule” is to complicated for me to learn the basics from. This book makes sense.
