I already knew practically everything in here, so it was pretty easy and boring.

This book was kinda boring/bogus because we had to do it every week, but on the other side, it was REALLY EASY! So that kinda balanced out the badness of this book.
Glad we're done with it

This book is great for students who haven't learned anything of music theory, a comprehensive book for complete beginners: it goes through all the little details one needs to know about music. I find it's not fair that someone gave it a 3 stars because they already knew everything in the book. Many websites offer the Table of Contents as images, please read them before buying. I'm a music teacher and I have given this book to adolescents as well as adults and everyone has benefited immensely.
