Learning musical notation can be intimidating. But regardless of instrument or proficiency in reading music, there's hope and help for all musicians in this practical guide. Writing in a friendly manner that puts readers at ease, author Dave Stewart starts with the basics: staves, clefs, and how to find the notes. He then advances step by step through rhythm, key signatures, chords and intervals, and how to write it all down. This book is useful for novices, seasoned players who never learned to read music, and pros seeking a refresher course.

May 05, 2002: This book is very well written, it does not get to technical and his methods for explaining things are simple and to the point. The title states The Musicians Guide, however this would be a great book for anyone starting out in the reading and/or writing of music. So you can still read this book even if you don?t call yourself a musician yet.
