I've been attempting to relearn music theory for the third time.
The first attempt was over a decade ago, and I never really quite got it.
The second attempt was about 6 years ago, and while the fundamentals clicked and I improved dramatically as a musician/composer, I still only ever learned some small portion of the basics.
This time, I'm taking it a few steps further. I'm going back to the basics first to recheck my existing understanding of things, and really trying to take my time and understand each new concept before moving on.
Wow, thanks for the link! Im in similar situation. I'd like to improve in my music theory knowledge as well.
I realized 15 years after finishing music school how chord progressions would speed up my learning new songs on piano and learn playing jazz. So Im looking for any kind of literature that would improve my knowledge there.

I'm currently working my way through this online textbook: https://musictheory.pugetsound.edu/mt21c/frontmatter.html
I've also picked up a simple little budget keyboard (a 61-key Casio CT-S1) that does just what I need at a great price.
Having a lot of fun so far and learning a ton! :)
