Can anyone suggest a good book on music theory? (This question has been asked on The Clarinet Bulletin Board before, but there was little response.)

I'm sure our teachers will be happy to supply titles/authors for your questions. I frequently go to Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble both of whom have many music-related searchable items. They may also have reviews/comments from buyers to assist choice. Don

I've used Siegmiester and Piston's books, they're ok anyhow.

The one that I used, and still like, is Barbara Wharram's Elementary Rudiments of Music. I think this one is user-friendly enough to teach yourself; I think it even includes solutions to its exercises. It goes from the really basic stuff to the beginning of harmony.

George Russel's 'Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization'. I look forward to reading revised edition.

Two questions:
1. From what level of theory knowledge are you starting?
2. Are you oriented primarily towards classical, jazz or pop music?
3. Is there anything specific that you're curious about?
If you are at basic level, check out the Master Theory Workbook from Kjos Publishing. There are six volumes. All of my private students do the first three.
I provide them online support for it at http://allencole.tripod.com. Click the link to the Master Theory Help & Hints.
Alfred also has a new Theory Book out which includes examples on CD.
A terrific book in the pop/jazz arent is Harmony & Theory from the Musicians Institute Press (Hal Leonard).
