Howdy folks,

Alan Belkin has written some very useful and cogent guides to various aspects of music. You can find his home page here http://www.musique.umontreal.ca/pers...n/e.index.html

Scroll down the page, and you'll find links to his writings on composition, orchestration, and some other topics. These can be read on-line, or downloaded for printing in PDF format.

I've found them helpful in my growth in musical understanding.

ttfn,
Sherry
