I don´t think classical harmony is of any interest for pop music. except 
maybe voicings and thoughts on polyphony. What maybe is interesting with 
Schoenbergs theory is his work on formal structure in the book "Stil und 
Gedanke"/"style and idea" talking about motives, melodies, time, 
repetition, formal ideas. (naa, I would not recommend that really...)

Maybe more effective would be to listen to artists you like to "copy" 
and analyse their chords and then have a "style" in your chord 
progressions system like "gershwin", "beatles", "bryan adams", "bjork" 
with some weighings of progressions, distributions of modes...

maybe I should give this a try myself.
