Customer Reviews
A great book for the scared beginner!
This is an excellent book for anyone who would love to be able to read music, but thinks it would just be too difficult. This book assumes no prior knowledge on the part of the reader (you don't even need to know what all those black lines and dots mean!). The book is very easy to understand and is well-written. By the end of the book the reader should be able to read a piece of music (the book gives examples of different types of music). This book is especially ideal for anyone who is learning to play an instrument.
