What are some of the best ways to teach yourself music theory?

In: Music

LEARNING MUSIC THEORY

You can get very good books on music theory in most bookstores...perhaps even the library. Music theory is not easy, however it is something you can teach yourself. You need a keyboard or something for note playing, but mostly, it's reading.You also need blank music sheets. You may be able to find a class in a junior college as well, or seek out a music teacher who tutors from a hgh school or college....even a music theory student might be willing to teach you.

I also find that as you play instruments or sing, you learn the theory as you go along.

also, musictheory.net is a great site to teach youself/practice the basics, and some of the more advanced stuff
