 Marie's Review October 4, 2007

I like this instructional book. It's great for practice. If you have'nt played for a while it will help you get back to the fun of music.

I just got this book 1 week ago, and its helping me read the maple leaf rag with ease! The book offers a good workbook style work out. The author does not write long paragraphs about piano, the author just tells you what piano is and how to play it. The book will truly help you play the piano better.
 Not for a novice with no musical background November 4, 2006
22 out of 27 found this review helpful
I want to learn how to sight-read, and perhaps its not a goal that I can accomplish with just a book and no teacher. I have an idea that for a person who has played an instrument in the past, or has a fundamental understanding of notation, this book is just fine. However, if you're like me, just starting, the book reads like a school textbook that the teacher is going to use in class, and then quiz you on next week! I'm going to keep it because I'm taking piano lessons, and the book might actually mean something in a few weeks/months.
Essential music note reading that still requires the musician's effort. July 20, 2006
24 out of 25 found this review helpful
As a former organist who after a twenty year hiatus decided to become a self-taught pianist, I bought this book to help me get back to reading music quickly and easily. The church music that I played was largely a treble clef melody line with chord names written above it, leaving my bass clef reading, slow, laborious, and highly dubious. ("It's a 'D', no, C! Wait...B") Once I got hold of some piano music, I found that I just couldn't keep the left hand going and couldn't decipher the notes fast enough to play much of anything. This book promised to help in that area, and I have used it as a supplement to a number of other books to help my overall playing. (Check out my other reviews.) So far, I have found this helpful in improving my note reading ability. Keep in mind, I already knew how to read notes in treble and bass clef, just needed to brush it up, so I'm not sure how useful this book would be for a raw beginner. The random note exercises are something entirely different for me, and they provide a good challenge and excellent sight reading practice. I don't think the rhythm exercises are terribly useful without having somebody on hand to tell you if you have the right rhythm or not (I suppose a metronome would help), but I didn't really buy the book for that aspect. I haven't gotten far enough in the book yet to tell if it is going to help me as much as I want in the ledger lines area above and below the normal clefs, but if it continues to perform in the later lessons as well as it has in the early lessons, I'm sure I will gain a lot from this manual.

Reading music may be difficult at first-hand, but when you're getting assistance from Berklee, you know it's worth it. So take advantage of the best composers and their teachings and receive it and apply it to creativity.
