Are you just a little lazy? Try doing a search on Rudiments of Music - or Music Theory for Beginners ... even your local librarian will help.

Get a book. Small ones fit in your music bag and you can take it with you. It just as important as reeds or accessories.
It's a little hard to pull out the internet while you are at rehearsal and look something up. Oh you could print it out to take with you but that will result in a lot of large sheets printed single side that will take up more room than necessary.

An important lesson for getting along with any musical ensemble, Krawfish, is following instructions.
I'm just curious - if you don't want to heed your teacher's advice, why are you taking (paying for(?)) lessons ?

I'd recommend the Concise Oxford Dictionary of Music ($12.50 or so, Amazon). A bit of a clunky paperback at about 900 pages, but it has just about every term you'd come across (OK, I think some of the French from the Poulenc isn't in there), as well as composers, well-known pieces, eras, etc. Excellent for quick reference.
I think there are a few different dictionaries out there with similar features.
And that's less than the cost of a box of Vandoren or Gonzalez

Always look on this site first. Mark, as usual, has anticipated our every need:

Musical Terms
Gail B. Levinsky, gblev@Ra.MsState.Edu provided the following two sites for explanation of musical terms:
http://www.hnh.com/mgloss.htm
http://thanatos.uoregon.edu/~lincicum/terms.html
Nevertheless, as Alex recommends, you really need a music dictionary in print format. The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Music is excellent. The Harvard Dictionary of Music is even better, though more expensive. I'd get the CODM rather than the Abridged Harvard, since the prices are similar and the Oxford is bigger.
When you look up something in a printed dictionary, it's almost impossible to avoid reading the adjacent entries, or coming across something interesting when you leav through getting to the term you're looking for. This sort of serendipity doesn't happen in electronic research, which is its greatest limitation.
Best regards.

I agree w: BobD, thats prob. all you need, short of "elite" musical words where you may need to go to a BIG Webster and/or Groves Dictionary ------ for skilled help. I bought 2 "pocket" books, from Amazon/B&N, gave one to a good friend for his "music renewal" and kept the "Elsons" for myself. Havent needed more for quite a while. Don
Thanx, Mark, Don
