Recommended Theory Book for Complete Beginners

[Lisa]

Hi,

I got a theory book recently and started reading it the other day. It's really basic and is helping me enourmously in getting to grips with scales, semitones, tones, intervals etc, etc. I was really struggling to understand all this before as I've never tried to decipher music until I started playing sax a few months back.

I'd recommend this for anyone in a similar position:
