Music Manuscript Book
Author: Valerie Kerr
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1466962887
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 59
Book Description
As a music teacher, Valerie Kerr felt that existing books did not provide the information that music students needed at their fingertips while doing their music theory homework. In music theory books, the basic information that is provided is often hidden among other information, thus making it difficult for students to find instantly. Printed books only provide the staves with very little information. Valerie provided music information inside the covers of this book for people beginning the study of music to understand while doing their theory homework and be able to build on this knowledge and take it to the next level.
