4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Decent book.By A. BellezzaIf youre interested in working on your sight reading; or just to better understand rhythm; then this book is for you. The audio CD has recorded samples of most of the exercises. The book starts you off at the novice level and progresses naturally into more complicated material. If a person started at the beginning of this book and mastered the entire book they would improve by many degrees.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
