Tells you on what you need to know about music notation!,
By
This review is from: Dictionary of Music Pb (Paperback)
It has a listing of popular music which includes Elton John, The Beatles but be warned it will not list such people as popular as Elvis Presley (!!!), but strangely enough will list entries like Deep Purple and then spin around again not list Black Sabbath.
Apart from this there are "music sheet" diagrams with pictures, music note scales, music notation and it gives you information on classical music composers, along with time signatures, rhythms and scores. IOn the subject of classical music it's very informative.
