Looking for a good book

kawaii · 2007-07-10 12:32:07

So I just finished LC music. Probably wont do music in college but I still want to study advanced theory by myself. So, could anyone recommend me a good college standard book on music theory? A book on jazz theory type stuff would be great too.

have you considered the bible if you have friends who ARE doing music in college then my advice is to wait for a few weeks after the first term starts then ask them what they are using. or just go into a book store and ask!

Langston Hughes:

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
"Dreams," from the anthology Golden Slippers: An Anthology of Negro Poetry for Young Readers, ed. Arna Bontemps (1941)
