 This covers it all June 3, 2008

If you need to improve your rhythmic vocabulary and reading, this book has it all.
The only reason I didn't give it the last star is because it supports the old fashion "counting system", that make it as impossible to learn how to sight read. Buy it together with "Sight Read Any Rhythm Instantly", and you have the power education of the decade as far as reading is concerned.
Great Book.

This book will provide a music teacher with a tremendous amount of examples for the student to work through. Although it explains how to read rhythms, I would not recommend it for someone who knows nothing about reading rhythmic notation. Rather, the working through of this book should be supervised by a music teacher who has extensive experience reading music. I use it with almost all my guitar students and they develop a tremendously precocious understanding of rhythm which helps them learn everything else at a much faster pace than the average student.

I like this book because the excercises are progressive and well thought out. It allows the student to move at his own pace. It also includes a practice record so you can track time spent. The exercises range from very simple in the begining to complex near the end. It is also practical since the rhythms are the kind that are consistently used in music being played today. I highly reccomend this book.
excellent! November 6, 1999
