What I love in this book is that it makes you master everything in a creative way. It is a full package together with the complete sound materials, exercises, and comprehensive lessons. The revised edition makes it even more clearer, modernized, and easy to understand.

The appendixes at the back is a really helpful reference too. Whether you want to learn Fundamentals or review it, or dig deeper into (master) it, this is a great book to start with.
