Abstract:
This thesis is designed to give the music novice as much new information as possible in a short work. Most importantly, the author had no desire to reprint information which already exists in print form. For this reason, the resources section is provided to aid in further inquiry into multiple topics in music. Along with this, in many sections of the work the reader can see the best methods which he or she could take to find new information on music. Also addressed in the work are the subjects of CD burning/music downloading, organizing one's music collection, a glossary of often-used musicassociated terms, and, most prominent in this guide, common mistakes a music novice will make and how these problems can be rectified.
