  • Mystery Explained!
I highly recommend this book for beginner to high intermediate piano learners. It explains key signatures in great detail and unravels a mystery that you may have found daunting, up until now. It's a very worthwhile book to have in your library.

  • Best music theory training
Right from the start you enjoy the visualization of the full scope the piano represents, from beginner to professionals. For many years of experience with easy play this is eye opening. It's worthwhile buying.

  • Incorrect information.
I am a very intermediate piano student, but right in the begins the book pg 13 the information given is wrong. Don’t think I want to go any further. I’m getting a refund and another book.

  • I'm sure this book will make perfect sense if you already know the subject
If the purpose is to instruct, the book fails. I am only left more confused and so find the book counter productive. It fails to teach.

  • Good for intermediate/advanced beginner
This rating is particularly for my own experience only. I think the book will be more useful for the intermediate or advanced stages of the beginner player. When I first decided to read the book, it was with the impression that it would be teaching me to use the circle of fifths in new ways. The majority of the book still goes over basic music theory concepts (half/whole steps, note names, building a scale, etc.). The brief topic of modulation is what I would say was the most beneficial part of the book as that did help to see how the circle can be used to make modulation decisions. I do like the way the book was written and have no issues with the way the concepts were presented. The book will be good for those that have had little to no experience with the circle of fifths, but will be less useful or just a review for those who already have a bit of music experience under their belt. ... show more
