A Very Good Primer,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Teach Yourself to Read Music: Guide for Pop, Rock, Blues and Jazz Singers (Paperback)
This book is laid out in a very accessible way and the accompanying CD is a boon. If you already have a good ear, you can learn how to sightsing using this book. The author straighforwardly explains the basics of scales, key signatures, timing, and notation. You establish confidence early on, and when the lessons get a little more complicated, you just sail right on through. Deutsch gives you just enough and makes it so easy, it has inspired me to dig deeper and study more.

Learning Music,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself to Read Music: Guide for Pop, Rock, Blues and Jazz Singers (Paperback)
After reading this book, I felt like I was back in Elementary school. This is a great learning book and if music interests you, you should read it. I love music and I felt I could expand my knowledge of it so I read this book and I didn't regret a moment of it.
