This little book is a brilliant guide for the beginner in music theory, or for the student who just needs to brush up on basic knowledge. It is suitable for children and adults and explains such matters as rhythm, key signatures, time signatures and virtually all the details of basic music theory in a straightforward and easy-to-understand way.
There are very few really "easy" guides around on music theory, but this must be one of the best.

A great little book 15 Mar 2010
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I have found this handy sized book an invaluable aid to the early student of music. The explanation of scales and themeanings of all those italian words of instuction alone made it worth the purchase price for me. There is so much within its pages to help the budding musician in understanding the basics while being small and light enough to carry in a pocket or within an istrument case.

A handy little book
This book is divided into grades, which is useful compared to other theory books I've tried. It is quite small, but could be easily stored in your handbag, if you were very keen!
