It's not part of Facebook or any other social media platform. You asked for information on understanding some fundementals of music theory and there's your answer in that link. Click on the link that @jbtsax has provided and choose which format you want the text to be in and pay the $19. Sorted 🙂

Music theory...intuitive...err... No! Not hardly.

I don't understand. Facebook has nothing to do with it. You simply register to set up an account at Kendell Hunt Publishing and then you can either order the book in print or as an ebook.

What did I miss? This is the link that I selected. https://www.facebook.com/theSaxophoneShop/

Which link are you referring to? (I saw only https://www.facebook.com/theSaxophoneShop/ underneath jbtsax's post.)

There's nothing particularly hard to understand if you learn it in a sensible structured way. Folk only have difficulty when they try to run before they can walk. Adult learners tend to be the worst. They want to know everything at once and approach it in a scattershot manner.

Take the OP here. He wants to know about compound time signatures but doesn't know what a beamed quaver looks like yet. Maybe the most useful answer would have been don't worry about it, it'll become clear later.

Reading all those posts about 'beats to the bar' keep making me think of:

Hi Colin. ‘Pop’ and Pops’ are (friendly) American terms of greeting to men of a certain age (such as you and me). They are transpositions of sorts of ‘papa’ or ‘poppa’, words I’m sure you know. So, after seeing your video, I made the association with ‘Papa bear’ (nursery-rhyme) and your handle. No offense meant or intended.
And as for that apparent bit of unpleasantness that the site poobahs saw fit to delete; again, no offenses meant. It was a lighthearted attempt to communicate my reaction to your post. For the record, I do value your other responses. So, thanks again, and no hard feelings, please.
