My son is learning to play the piano but I had never play an instrument in my life. Every time he had a question I could see his face wondering why is he learning music theory if I never had to. After he challenged me to learn with him, I've attempted to read many theory books and this is the first one that makes sense. The simple way this book is presented makes it enjoyable and I am finally getting a clear idea on how to read music. I love the fact that this book allows me to hear musical examples so I can better understand the concepts. I highly recommend!
