During my years in music college I always found it strange to read books on music. Whenever I heard the musical examples played, live or via recording I would understand much better. And it's another type of understanding, in a way logical, even though it's hard to discuss this logic. It's the understanding that makes you go: Oh, that's what you mean!
This is one of the main reasons I started TeachMeAboutMusic.com
Kids and older students going to music classes without ever having heard Mozart, Oscar Peterson, Benny Goodman or even the Beatles. If you want to study music you should listen to it. And the more styles and genres, the better.
By using www.teachmeaboutmusic.com the student is able to go systematically through music history, music theory (learn to read music) learn melodies: songs and lyrics in a visual manner, that is: You watch and listen to the music as you learn.
Have a try, tell us what you think.
all the best
