Music Notation

Rating:
Summary: rotten book rotten personality
Review: i was a student of marks at berklee and he was very hostile, pedantic and negative. unfortunately the excellent information in this book is often obsucured by that same hostile, arrogant spirit which he so readily and eagerly shared with his students.

Rating:
Summary: clear, concise, detailed
Review: I was first introduced to this well laid out text as a student at Berklee. I found the step by step guidelines to be very helpful. Mark guides the reader through the process of drawing each notation symbol with a no-nonsense easy to follow approach. Each chapter concludes with a comprehensive exercise sheet. I continue to use the book as a reference text everyday.

Summary: Excellent book, excellent teacher
Review: Well, giving the book a negative review due to dislike for the teacher seems rather immature. For my part, I had the book long before I had taken a class with Mark, and found him to be a friendly, down-to-earth guy. That said, I had already found this book to be the absolute reference for all things notation. It's got a wealth of information, and is easily understood and useful for years to come.
