Synopsis

A pioneer in the progressive rock movement of the 1970s, and winner of KEYBOARD magazine's Best New Talent Award in 1979, escorts readers through the often intimidating world of music, introducing them to rhythm, key signatures, chords, and intervals, and telling how to write it all down. Clear and practical throughout, generously sprinkled with examples, this book leads readers to the point where they can take off on their own.

"An excellent guide providing user-friendly instructions...accessible." -- Bookwatch, July 1999
