harmony contemporary.

My friend said: If you have insomnia, just read a harmony book or textbook and you would fall asleep in 10-15 minutes. I did not fall asleep with this book because it gave me helpful explanation about chords and chord progression than other books. May be it is too simple for an advanced student but it is enough for me. With a piano/keyboard in front of you, you would learn Simple, Elementary concepts in harmony with not too much diificulty. I think Arnie Berle wrote a lot of good books.
Great book for my way of thinking

I was familiar with a lot of the stuff at the beginning of the book, but there is definitely mucho here even for the advanced player toward the end. The holy grail of what scales sound good (great) over which chords in different situations is addressed here, and if you play you know that those ideas are as good as gold. For example he suggests C Lydian scale (C scale with an F sharp over a CMaj7; and a C Lydian flat 7 over a C Dom7; and many other useful ideas. Further the book was written in a very readable way. This book was perfect for my stage of development.
Solid Basic Overview of Music Theory
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book is a very well written overview of music theory for any kind of instrument. The answers to the "homework" assignments should have been added to the back of the book, but overall it is concise and thorough presentation.
Very complete option.

This book covers most aspects of modern harmony. I think it's great for self-training usicians who has some gasps out there.

This book takes you all the way from the beginner's level up to the advanced level. If you're looking to polish up your theory, and learn to use altered chords, this is the book for you. Arnie has kept this book simple to read, chapters are short and thorough, a must for every contemporary musician.
