Music theory, terminology, etc.
Posted on: 26.01.2013 by Toya Spor
Is there a good book or two out there that can completely explain musical concepts and terminology? I always hear words like tremolo, arpeggio, pitch, mode, note, step, key, etc and get curious. I'm a beginner DJ/producer and I'd like to know more.

Get something to do with piano or guitar, maybe something about drums too wouldn't hurt.

Hit up the music section of your local bookstore, or go to a music shop (long and mcquade, guitar center etc.) And see what they have. Or read up on music theory online.
