I was trying to get into a class that would teach musical theory on the piano, but it didnt work out. I still want to learn it and think i could manage if i was showed the right material. I can read music, but i need to play it a bunch of times and memorize it. What books are there out there that are the best to learn musical theory.

The Jazz Piano Book by Mark Levine:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0961470151/002-3330025-9974425?v=glance&n=283155

It has SO much information packed into the book. Amazing stuff, too. It'll keep you busy for at least 10 years. Mark Levine is pretty much the theory guru anyway...
