The problem with many of the Music Theory sites I run across is the emphasis placed on Sight reading notes. Bah! Who needs to site read sheet music when you have a Tracker Pattern Editor. I guess thats needed when teaching yourself Classical Piano but it's almost useless to people like me. The Tonal Centre is an excellent resource for the Music Tracker/buzz mind. I use a reproduction of Shoenberg's chart to guide me along when I do more adventurous changes in my compositions such as; Quantum Contemplation or Thunderstorm. It's amazing how beautifully you can break the rules when you know the rules.
Please let me know if you like the info or if it helps you in your music creations. I'd love to hear from you.

I think no prior background in music is necessary to make decent songs with Buzz, but I'm very interested in music theory because it's better to know the rules before you break them, as you said. Before using Buzz and learning sound design, music theory was really my only background in music...
