Having had no formal music training, realizing my dream of playing the cello at age 46 was daunting. Core Music Theory is written with such clarity of language and depth of knowledge that I felt empowered!  Ms. Gietzen doesn’t just know music, she knows how to teach it.  Carefully scaffolded, and structured to bridge any gap in musical training, these books are the best ones I’ve found for anyone seeking to learn the language of music.
