I've barely started learning Ruby, so I'm not playing along with the quiz. I don't know music theory - AT ALL - but I'd love to learn. Can you guys recommend a couple great books (e.g., textbooks)?

The jazz I learned mostly through classes, although I have a couple of chord progression books. The classical theory was many years ago at school - I think the main tome was called "The Rudiments of Music" -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
From: Evan Hanson on 2 Mar 2010 16:11 If you're interested in jazz specifically (though if you learn that picking up the other styles becomes much easier), look for books by Mark Levine -- I have the Jazz Theory Book and the Jazz Piano Book, both are top-notch, and the former is considered by many to be the "Bible" of jazz, so to speak.

From: David Springer on 2 Mar 2010 17:38 OK Here is my solution. I'm rather new to Ruby. So this may look more C-like than Ruby-ish. I am not a musician. It should be easy to add additional chords. I could not come up with a good way to decide wich of two equivalent notes to display. I'm not sure about the etiquette of attaching a non-compressed file. Right now I am working under Windows XP. Not sure how to deliver a .tar.gz file under Windows. I probably could just do a .z file though. I was fun AND consumed way too much of my free time.

Especially if attaching doesn't save any space. Hal |
