I love to write, and I am always looking for new ways to improve my writing. Jonathan Bellamn does that, and in the context of my discipline. I have found the book stimulating, clearly written and worth every penny.

My graduate student recommended Bellman's Guide to Writing about Music to me. I would like to recommend it to everyone writing about the arts, particularly, graduate students, college and university faculty.

Enjoy!

I teach an Introduction to Music Scholarship class for undergrads at my college and have used this book for four years. It is clear, conscise, and written in an engaging and frank style. I use the book because it enables me to structure an entire semester around it, and my students enjoy the book- which is amazing in a research methods class. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in music and writing well, no matter what level of expertise they are.

Book gives good pointers on how to write about music concerts, analysis, etc. Was looking for a book to help with papers I have to write for classes but this did not really fit my needs. Still, interesting and did get my brain going.

The book came in just when I needed it, and at a good price. Thank you!

This book is for music students -- as in term papers -- not as a source for researchers writing novels about musicians. In the beginning of the book, the author says, in essence, that it's nearly impossible to describe music. Then what did I waste $28 for?

Prompt shipping and the product was in perfect shape. Highly recommended to do business with in the future!
