A note on book covers: while we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
This book will: - Teach the notation of music to those who have never known it before - Serve as a systematic reminder for those who once knew how to read music but have forgotten most of it - Serve as a practical classroom textbook in the rudiments of music - Serve as a helpful reference book for the student in music appreciation and related courses
This book will not: - Teach you to sing like Tebaldi - Make you a wizard at the piano or any other instrument - Turn you into an Irving Berlin or a Beethoven
But it will teach anyone — even the tone-deaf — to read melodies and pick them out on the piano.
