**This review is based on the copy I received from the author at the time of his initial submission.**

I had to treat this review slightly different for this reason: It’s a textbook of sorts, so it doesn’t have the guiding factors like plot, pace, conflict and the like to take into considerations.

Therefore, I will base my score on the following characteristics:

(1) Spelling, grammar, punctuation
(2) Ease of following and understanding
(3) Use of visual aids along with text


******

(1) Spelling, grammar, and punctuation: There were a handful of spelling errors and one instance of misplaced punctuation but overall, a terrific job on syntax.

(2) Ease of following and understanding: Although I haven’t had music classes since my early school years, a lot of what I learned reminded me of that particular time in my life. The dust was flicked off my light bulb for just a moment as I revisited the different notes, clefs and meanings. The instructions were clear and very easy to follow. The recaps (repetition) did help a lot but in some areas, it almost bordered on being a bit too much.

(3) Use of visual aids along with text: The visual aids were presented beautifully and there was a nice balance between print and diagrams. This method is beneficial not just to the student that likes relying on text but also the student who likes being hands on and is a fan of visual aids more so than merely print.

Verdict: 4.5, but strong enough to round to a 5.

I would definitely recommend this. It has been a while since I’ve looked at music yet if I had an instrument on hand, I would be open to using this guide to get back in the swing of things.
