Need some serious help with TERMINOLOGY

Hi,

I'm very new to composing, and have found some very terrible websites with incorrect terminology about chords, harmonics and so forth. Its not really composition that I struggle with, but understanding the correct terminology. I know what I'm trying to describe, but just can't find the right word for it. Does anyone have a suggestion about a decent website that I could find out about basic music theory (chord progressions), and then general music terminology. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Wikipedia is your friend. :)

Also, check out the Virgina Tech Multimedia Music Dictionary:

I use Virgina Tech Multimedia Music Dictionary. It really helped me learn some basic things.
