Ok, here's the deal. ive never touched a piano, or any serious musical instruement for as long as i can remember. But my favorite composer is Bach, I really really want to get into musical theory, and understand more about Counterpoint specifically, but I don't even know the basics! I didn't pay much attention in music classes.

Does anyone have any resources that will help me understand more about Baroque music? I, again, really want to learn this to gain a better appreciation and understanding. But, unfortunately, these resources aren't readily available to me, so I'm hoping someone here will know of a place I can go to online, to atleast get the basics, to understand. Im talking about the REALLY REALLY early basics, Im basically clueless on music bar a few terms. I dont really know how it works, what harmony is, what melodies are, etc.

I also understand I wont be able to get into the more complex stuff until I learn about the above, so please list some knowledgeable reccomendations!
