a good & easy to understand book to begin with
on: December 02, 2004, 07:07:34 PM
Hi,
I would like to know if there is a simple and good book to learn playing music from notes.
I have been playing piano for 15 years by ear (some classical and a little bit of Jazz) but now I feel the need to learn notes,bits (rythm) and some theory.

Thanks,
Eyal

Try:

Terry Burrows – How to read music: Reading music made simple (Sevenoaks).

Best wishes,
Bernhard.
