‘Pulse is the steady heartbeat of music and can be set to faster or slower tempos’
The authors at Barton Press make a welcome addition to the genre of self-help books concerning Music. First they offered MUSIC THEORY ESSENTIALS - the study of what music is, how it is done, how it is organized, and how and why it can affect us. Now they further their instruction with HOW TO READ MUSIC FOR ANY INSTRUMENT. The book is designed for beginners who have no prior knowledge of music theory, and while the book is meant to be introductory information, it also serves as a resource for those for whom music is an avocation supplying definitive ‘notes’ to inform the casual and untrained music maker!
Introducing this new volume, the authors share, ‘Whether you are starting as a total beginner or are a more seasoned musician looking to brush up on your musical knowledge, this guide covers every notational aspect of music on the page needed to understand music for any instrument. Because music contains many facets that require in-depth explanation, this guide has been conceptually divided into three weeks, twenty -one days. …Exercises will be included daily to apply the given musical focus for that day, so knowledge can be applied and practiced as you gain it.’ This degree of starting from the basics is one reason this little book will become valuable for everyone who wishes to endeavor to play an instrument, compose a song, or sing!
The information is presented with drawings and illustrations that assist the comprehension of each aspect the book presents. The book is divided into Week 1 – Rhythm & Timing, Week 2 – Pitch, and Week 3 – Expressive Elements of Music. At the end of each section, highlights are offered - succinct phrases that capsulize the information taught during that week. The writing is sophisticated and carefully inserts references to all types of music – broadening the scope of knowledge for the reading audience.
Yes, the information is basic, but the authors offer their instruction in such an accessible manner that even practicing musicians will find the definitions and explanations of music notation valuable. This is another fine music book - just the right for these times of quarantine!
