Very Good
Format: Paperback
The notation in this book is not as non-standard as the previous reader implies. I am actually amazed at the simplicity and effectiveness of this system. As much credit as I would like to give musicians, the ability to instantly hear and transcribe rhythms is not a skill I see everyone excelling at. This book is more advanced than its level 1 title indicates as if the exercises are repeated more than once, the reader can become very skilled at listening to complex rhythms and repeating them correctly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone. The CD works with the book brilliantly. ... show more

Not recommended....
Format: Paperback
...first, it is a terrible waste of paper...take away all the blank space and you'd be left with maybe a ten page pamphlet...second, the authors opt to use unconventional notation -- stems alone are used to designate time value, noteheads...so you get one stem" equal to a quarter note, two "stems" equal to two eighth notes, etc...nevertheless, they persist in using standard notation for rests...all this does is add an additional layer of complication with no benefit...similarly, instead of the usual practice of counting "one and two..." or "one e and a" and so forth they use "ta", "ti ti", and "tika tika" in various combinations...so to count a dotted half note you would say "ta - a - a" versus "one, two, three"...again, this is just added complication without any benefit that I can see...also, it fails to address how you're supposed to keep track of where you are in the measure...anyway, check out Daniel Kazez's book for an infinitely superior simple to advanced rhythm text -- it is also cheaper when compared to the four volumes of "Rhythm without the Blues". ... show more
