Tonal Harmony Review

This is definitely the best book on tonal harmony, simple and complete. Gives you all informations you need step by step. Sometimes it states "forget about this for now": well, it isn't really an issue because two or three pages after it explains what had left out before, but with more theory already explained at that stage. There're a lot of examples within the text and many tests to see if you've understood the theory.
You don't ever need a teacher to understand the concepts explained in this book: you really need one only if you're learning to play an instrument, not to understand chord functions, inversions, and cadences. This book teaches harmony, not piano or guitar solos.
Tonal Harmony Overview
For nearly two decades Tonal Harmony has been the leading text for the two-year theory curriculum for music majors. Used at nearly 800 schools, Tonal Harmony has been consistently praised for its practicality and ease of use for student and instructor alike. The straightforward approach is supported by well-chosen examples and thoughtful exercises, and the total presentation is compatible with differing teaching styles and theoretical points of view. In addition, a set outstanding ancillaries, which include a collection of audio examples on CD (for both the text and workbook) and an extensive Instructor's Manual, round out the comprehensive teaching package.

Bought it new. So, of course, it was in good condition. But it's still worth mentioning.
tonal harmony - T. Alarcon - tx
this is not a good book for musicians who are trained by ear or someone who hasnt been in music for a long time. it doesnt explain the information in some chapters you have to have a teacher to understand it completely and if you dont have a good teacher youll be in a bad position like i was. i play the piano guitar and i sing and i had trouble with this book the first 5 chapters are not that bad but once you get to the 6 and 7th chapter youre in deep do do if your teacher just trys to fly through as though youre suppose to be a expert. half of my class barely passed for one we had a teacher who knew the information but didnt know how to teach it
second the book doesnt explain the information i wouldnt recommend this book
i hate this book with a passion i have to use this book for 4 semester what a drag
