Too much for a beginner
This book advances too fast. This is not a book for a beginner. Picture a book that is titled Math: From beginner to expert. Now picture yourself picking up that book in textbook form and reading through it. Without solid fundamentals you will run out of gas shortly after the first chapter or two. You simply cannot absorb, learn, and retain the material as a beginner to progress through this book. I feel like the author is knowledgeable and experienced in music theory. Please do not think you will absorb the material as you read through the book. Now, if you are a musician or have been involved in music for a while, this may be your book. There is a ton of material. I applaud the author for writing and distributing the material, but bare in mind beginners should break down the material of music theory over several books.
