Review: The most impactful self help book I've ever used - It's a very thorough step by step book to assist with music reading and rhythm. I haven't gotten far into it despite having had it for a year. Not sure if I'll ever get the time to do it, but it's definitely designed for the beginner and is so easily understandable. I would recommend this book for someone who has the time/motivation to dedicate to learning it. UPDATE: If I could give this book TEN stars, I would. I am going back through this book (faster) four years later, and I finally used the online tools that came with it. Usually I don't use the online tools that come with a book because they're piecemeal and wonky. This book, however, has an entire course online that goes with this book!! It's laid out in an organized way, just like you were taking an online credit course. It's beautifully easy to use and really solidifies everything the book is explaining. I can't recommend this book enough! Of all self teaching books I've read and used over the years, this one absolutely rivals the most impactful. TEN STARS!!
Review: Excellent resource for a beginner - My son joined the school orchestra but he doesn't have much experience, so we got him this book to help him learn to read music. It's a great resource, with clear information, good exercises for practice, and a nice flow to the material. My son had no trouble with the concepts or activities because they were explained so well, and he feels much more confident in his music reading ability now. It's really coming through in his performance, as well - good book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most impactful self help book I've ever used

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent resource for a beginner

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great intro to music theory
*by C***M on April 29, 2019*

I bought this book because I'm currently studying voice (with a teacher) and piano (myself, primarily from Alfred books) and decided I needed a much better music theory foundation for both. I'm happy to say that after completing the book I feel that I have that. Separated into three basic sections — rhythm, pitch, and expression — it takes you from the most basic "this is what a quarter note looks like" to increasingly more advanced (but still appropriate for beginners) lessons in understanding how to read, write, and hear the different aspects of music. The structure and division of these concepts is well-paced and laid out. In each lesson, there are audio examples (which you're given a download link for when you get the book) which really help you understand the application of the concepts being discussed. Most of these are excerpts from well-known classical pieces. At the end of each lesson, there are written exercises (an answer key is provided in the download for these and the book's final test). On many days, there are additionally "listening challenges" where you're given a set of excerpts (some included in the download, others you can look up on YouTube or elsewhere) and are asked to determine things related to the lesson, like whether each one is a march or a waltz. Later you're also encouraged to follow along with the piece's sheet music as you listen for certain things. I found the exercises, audio, and listening challenges extremely helpful as I learn best with a combination of types of input — not just reading but writing, seeing, and hearing the music in action really helped cement the ideas for me. Throughout the book, the author gives his email address and says to contact him at any time. I took him up on that and he was extremely responsive, even updating the book itself based on my question. If you're looking for a good way to learn or brush up on music notation and basic theory, this is a great intro.
