Reviews

[Bruno · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interessant boek, voornamelijk gericht op muzikanten met weinig kennis van noten en akkoorden, maar zeer handig voor iedereen die wat meer inzicht in... noten en akkoorden wil verwerven. Laagdrempelig, maar zeker niet kneuterig; laat zich vlot lezen.

I picked this up expecting it would help me improve my writing technically. However, it seemed more for beginners and just a refresher. There were interesting and helpful.

[Evan · Rating 4 out of 5]

a good read. written in a friendly way. Not for advanced musicians, possibly for brushing up intermmediate knowledge or affirming things you know. Because of that I give it 4 stars.

[Tim]

Really a handy reference book more than a read, but full of very useful information in an accessible form.
