Title: Great beginning-intermediate theory book! Just wish the cd's were included.
Review: I use this book with both high school and college students. It's a compilation of all of the 3 Alfred's music theory books, so it's pretty thorough and covers a LOT of material. There are short exercises on most pages for the students to practice everything from writing a clef sign to analyzing chords. My only complaint is that a few of the exercises are designed to be used with their CD's, which are not included with the book purchase. However, the CD's are not absolutely necessary; most music teachers would have no trouble teaching the material without the CD's. I really like the book & would strongly recommend it to anyone teaching a basic to intermediate theory course.
