It is not overly complicated. and it is laid out well. It moves from the very basic to much more complicated lessons. There are exercises at the end of each chapter to help you master the concepts. The author does a fine job at explaining even the most challenging portions of music theory. I recommend this book to all of my music students and to anyone who is interested in knowing more about how music works.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Ear Training LinkBy Ken D.Book states that it has a link " bull; Expanded online ear-training and transcribing exercise content." When you go to the link provided all it does is take you to the dk.com website to order another book. Sad!! Author states that another link has been posted to fix the problem but after attempting this link/fix several times it still brings you back to dk.com site.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
