There are millions of self-taught musicians in this world. Some can't read a stitch of music and can only play by ear. If this describes you and you want to learn how to read and write music in a step-by-step, easy to follow fashion, you have come to the right place. Knowing the fundamentals of music will make playing even more fun. This book is also designed for all those non-musical types who are taking a college music fundamentals course and don't have a clue about what is going on. This book will come to your rescue. Music professors teaching such a course will find this text perfect for their students. Just reading about music fundamentals won't do much for you. You've got to jump in and begin to write music. At the end of each chapter, there are exercises for you to do to see if you're catching on. Informational (occasionally entertaining) icons in the left margin guide you along as you learn to read and write music.
