Other Free Stuff

If you are on the lookout for other resources however, here are some suggestions:

1. Music Theory for Musicians and Normal People: A series of visually appealing free pdfs on Music Theory which cover all the essentials. If you’re interested, you can even purchase them as T-shirts or posters!

2. Justin Guitar: This guy has been around for a while (2003) and is arguably the most popular guitar teacher on the internet today. If you are starting out with the guitar, you would do well to check out some of his videos which have collectively clocked up over 150 million views on Youtube.

3. Mutopia: A great site that offers scores of classical music. Resources include works by such composers as Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Handel, Mozart, and many others. All sheet music on this site is in the public domain and free to download, print, perform, and distribute.

4. Music Theory and History Online: Created by the England-based Dolmetsch Foundation, this is another great site on music theory. A repository for the basics of notation, meter, rhythm, chord structures, and more.

5. Dave Conservatoire: The best way to describe this site would be a “Khan Academy” for Music Theory. Lessons are split into crisp short nuggets to help you find your own pace and track your progress by signing up as a user.
