What can I say, it's just the first theory book I've had that really put everything in context for me. I used Kostka and Payne when I was in college and honestly that was terrible. All the examples were keyboard examples and as a non-keyboard player I just could not relate to anything that was happening. There were also simply too many details without a conceptual framework in that book. The Complete Musician is a very comprehensive, detailed and intelligent book with relevant, familiar examples across the repertoire and exercises that help to relate it all back to your own experience. I am about half-way through it now (revising for entering grad school in the fall) and having more fun with it than I would have imagined possible a few months ago. I really wish we had this in college instead.
