I am electronic music producer and I want to learn more about scales, chords. I search for a book that would be more graphic (images, sheets) as in text.. also more beginner oriented. I dont know how I should explain it.. what the coolest book for learning keyboards for you? I don`t want any ebooks.
i am searching also for cool stuff that I could put on my wall, just to learn faster - scales-chords posters etc.

any tips?

For a different approach, Google for ”HookTheory”.

Herodotus, could you briefly show-forth the glory of the Primer, and the great and wondrous history of Just Intonation that you give it such astonishing praise, so that we may have cause to begin such a mathematical inquiry?

Contemporary Music Theory by Mark Harrison is the best series of music theory books you can learn from. I did it 20 years ago and everything I learned, stuck till today thanks to these books. It'll be the best money you ever spent if you are serious about learning.
