Book Reviews of Alfred's Essentials of Music Theory: A Complete Self-Study Course for All Musicians (Book & 2 CDs)

Book Review: Satisfaction In This Book
Summary: 5 Stars

This self-study coarse is one of the best tools I'm ever seen in music. It's great for ameteurs and also those readers who have been involved with music for years. I've been singing and writing song lyrics for 15 years. You'd think I'd know most everything, but that's just not the case. This book has helped me in writiting music composition, to recognize key signatures in an instant, read sheet music with greater ease. Other areas in my music have also been greatly improved in addition to learning things I've never heard of before. This book is a great choice for anyone who wants to learn anything about music.
