I am of the camp that thinks learning music theory and sight reading are important steps along the path of learning to play any instrument. I have looked at numerous sources of information on these topics. I have been frustrated in the theory department due to the fact that most educational materials seem to give you too much info at once and not in an easy to comprehend sequence. I am very pleased to say that I have found a book on Scribd that seems to overcome these issues. It can be read online if you don't have a Scribd account, but a subscription is required for a download. The book is by Lloyd Stenier and is titled "Quick and Easy Music Theory". Check it out if, like me, studying theory usually results in wild head spinning.
