Reviews

[Gareth Howells · Rating 4 out of 5]

Liked the way this was written - plain, clear, personalised and to the point.
Recommended.

In combinatie met _The Musician's Guide to Reading & Writing Music_ van dezelfde auteur, zijn dit twee boeken die meteen verschrikkelijk veel verheldering brengen in het systeem van de muziek. Aanrader voor wie al in muziek geïnteresseerd is, maar zich nog (steeds) laat afschrikken door akkoorden en andere vreemdsoortig lijkende notencombinaties.

I guess it was pretty good, but it contained a lot of information and I had kind of a hard time taking it all in to actually use it. Overall a good book though.
