The AB Guide to Music Theory, Part II (Sheet music) - Common Sheet music

I bought it for the Theory test preparation. Not very useful. An official but so so book.

The description/title given by Amazon is "The AB Guide to Music Theory" but tells you nothing that it is a part 2 book. A little frustrated when I was looking for something different and this came. If ordering, be aware that it is part 2.

I used to use this book over 2 decades ago when I originally started learning the piano and I find today this is still the go to book for music theory. It has helped refresh my memory on some theory points, however, some chapters are overly complex and without the help of my piano teacher I don't think I would have deciphered some of the chapters on my own.

As in the 1st volume, the book is well written with clear explanations. The book is arranged by topics and there is a companion series “music theory in practice” which is arranged by grades. Together they are excellent. I enjoy using them.

Good reference for Music Theory in Practice

This is a really good book!If you are preparing for any Music Theory exam (Grade 6+) I would recommend this as a necessity!It is always a good reference even at A-Level!Great value for money here rather than at your local music shop!

The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music textbook is indispensible for any who wish to learn music theory. The copy I received from the seller was in very good condition and speedily despatched.
