I can say that it's nicely organized and explanations are concise. I also appreciate the vast amount of examples provided right after an explanation. However, it is written methodically and descriptively, just like a textbook and it doesn't give the "friendly, relaxed vibe" some new books have with their everyday life examples and comparisons that help increase cognitive ease (make new terms and ideas easier to grasp, often comparing to things you already know, therefore decreasing mental struggle). Depending on your taste, this can be a good or bad thing.
I took my time reviewing this book because I tried learning more about the subject from different sources and I can say it suits really well as a support guide meant to be used in a classroom or as reference material when you are in doubt of something specific and need a quick and easy explanation.
Main subjects include:
Scales
Chords
Chord progressions
Melody
Form
Useful techniques (Ostinato, Pedal tone, hocket, pointillism, rhythmic variation, mirrors, doubling, etc.)
Instrumentation
