Learned so much but how well?
I am thrilled with this 2nd book in the series, but even a competent theory student needs a key to check later. I never check until I finish an exercise but I do deserve to be able to buy a teacher's copy to insure I'm internalizing good practices and not just reinforcing mistakes. Other theory books do include a teacher's book. Really not happy about that.However: this is an excellent book series for me so far. Sometimes there are missing pieces of information that would be necessary to completely understanding how to use tetrachords to build 2 ascending octaves, or those sorts of things, but I figured them out. Techniques for memorizing the order of sharps or flats (just rote memorization or how to make it into something memorable) can help. I learned them to a degree but was hoping to have a sample and perhaps even improved explanation without having to memorize the circle of 5ths. Circle of 5ths is wonderful but not too handy when writing out a quick key signature.

Tried and True Standard
This has been around for decades, but it's still a great resource for teaching music theory... Purchased for an upper elementary horn player, but appropriate for any instrument.
