Here are some favorite books that I have found over the years. I still have copies of each book below and refer to them frequently. I have many more but wanted to keep it down to just a few favorites.

How Music Really Works by Wayne Chase is my personal favorite of all the books that I own. This book covers how music really works and so much more!

I like this book so much that I was inspired to create a method for learning about the beat and pulse in music which is covered extensively in How Music Really Works. I am working on teaching the pulses mentioned in this book to present my own interpretation of beat and pulse.
