I personally am a believer in Kotska Payne for reference, but not for recreational reading...I agree with the experimental composer...experiment. If the style you want sounds like Bach or Beethoven or most before the 20th century. BUt if you like a little more freedom, or not freedom per se...try moving to different chords and listening to the relationships and judge for yourself what is good...
I don't beleive in total serialism or atonality...but I do agree that tonal harmony is good. I sit in the middle somewhere stealing liberally from each!

1st learning about harmony - might limit the development of counterpoint skills. I certainly dont regard counterpoint to be a extension of harmony but more as a counterpart that must be in balance with harmony.
