You can usually get older editions of those books for significantly cheaper. That would be my recommendation. Those books are really the ones that are vetted, tried and true.

2nd edition Aldwell/Schachter for $15

1st edition Clendinning/Marvin for $10

There's only one edition of the Laitz, I think, so if you wanted that one you'd just have to bite the bullet.

I second this over Tonal Harmony. Way more musical and focuses on voice leading instead of sticking a roman numeral under everything.

Find an older edition if you can. No one should have to spend $150 on a used music theory book.

My approach is classically oriented and requires an ability to read music at a level found say at the beginning of intermediate piano lesson books-just to give an example of what I'm thinking of here.

J. S. Bach four part Chorales-tough to follow up on this. But understanding the rules becomes a task of inscrutable difficulty so these two books might help-could need require some additional tutoring on the side.

Robert Ottman's Elementary Harmony -Theory and Practice approachable but lacks some thoroughness. Available at the online booksellers too.

Harmony and Voice Leading (2nd Edition) /Aldwell and Schachter -very thorough, steep learning curve.
