MUSICAL TERMS FOR EVERYONE

Music Theory For Dummies is designed to teach you everything you need to know to become fluent at knocking out a solid beat, reading musical scores, and learning to anticipate where a song should go, whether you’re reading someone else’s music or writing your own. Each chapter is as self-contained as possible, you don’t have to read every single chapter to understand what the next one is talking about. It does help, though, as knowledge of music builds from simple concepts to complex ones.
