Toby W. Rush’s “Music Theory for Musicians and Normal People” covers a massive range of topics like pitch, rhythm, scales, intervals, and harmonics. The online book itself is more arranged as a collection of high-quality PDFs that offer diagrams, notes, and tips for everything music theory related. There’s around 50 PDFs to go over, but each one could make for a useful reference printout if there was a specific topic you’re interested in. Learning to play music can have a number of benefits, and though music theory isn’t required for doing so, it can certainly help if you want to create your own tunes.
