Reviews

[Len Wheeler · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a book for all readers, any age. It is an aide to anyone studying music. I love the pictures and pieces of his compositions added in. When I read it, I sit at the piano so I can play the pieces as they fall in the text. I have five more ready to read in this series. Can't wait.
