Recently i am very interesting on learning more about the music theory, i found a book in Amazon.com which is a interesting book for me ( as well as for those who like to know or learn about the music theory). 

This book>>The Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Theory, 2nd Edition by Michael Miller.

Besides that, it makes me easier to understand by use helpful hints on composing and arranging for instruments and voices. In additional, the key concepts let me understand the need to create my own melodies, hormonies, and chords.

First, let me have a simple introduce about the content in this book

There are divided into 6 parts in this book, they are
(1) Tones
(2) Rhythms
(3) Tunes
(4) Accompanying
(5) Embellishing
(6) Arranging

After finished read first part>>Tones, then only i realize there are a big different between the term "intervals" in music and transmission wavelength "interval" in engineering. And the different sound or tone, they can came from different use of major and minor keys, such as C major, E major( contain F#, C#,G#, D#).
