Description

This book will teach the notation of music to those who have never known it before, serve as a systematic reminder for those who once knew how to read music but have forgotten most of it, serve as a practical classroom textbook in the rudiments of music, and serve as a helpful reference book for the student in music appreciation and related courses. This book will not teach you to sing like Tebaldi, make you a wizard at the piano or any other instrument, or turn you into an Irving Berlin or a Beethoven. But it will teach anyone — even the tone-deaf — to read melodies and pick them out on the piano.
