Reader Reviews
I am a total novice who just purchased a piano with the express goal of learning how to sight read and have a fundamental understanding of music theory. These three volumes are generally excellent; however, I agree with the previous reviewer who said the material is often vague (he mentioned 'ties and slurs') - the very same topic that jumped out at me as vague (and the music example was of no help), but it just goes to show that you can't learn everything at home, by trial-and-error, you need a qualified instructor or musician to help you along the way. And I wish the book was spiral-bound.
