If you're interested in using Python for music, whether that's algorithmic composition, computational music theory, or musicology, you've doubtless encountered music21. It's great, but can be a bit prickly. MIT has a great Open Courseware course with music21's creator, Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert, and it's really great! (Yes, that was the third time I said 'great' and that was the fourth.)

MIT OpenCourseWare

This course presents major approaches to computational music theory and musicology in the symbolic (score-based) domain.

I've been reading Tymoczko's 'Tonality: An Owners Manual'. It's very fascinating. It's full of diagrams (mostly spiral and circular) that illustrate voice leading geometry to explain not just classical functional harmony but also the many non-functional progressions heard in other genres like rock.

I wish though he explained how to follow certain complicated diagrams more fully. At about 150 pages in I got stumped for hours trying to make sense of one. 😵‍💫
