Reviews
I purchased this book just to review before taking graduate diagnostic exam. This is the series this particular graduate music school uses for it course work. It has been several years since I graduated from Berklee and the material is slightly different so I decided to brush up on a few important theory topics. The book is well written and thorough. Some of the material may be a bit daunting if you are new to classical/traditional music theory. I am a professional concert pianist, arranger, and composer. My undergraduate degree is in performance and jazz arranging/theory.
