An indispensable tool for conservatory and university students and for anyone that practices music, this book proposes an approach to the structures of music theory from the first years of study.

This approach to woodwind instruments is centered on effectiveness, helping each musician maximize the time they invest in study in order to reach the technical level where they can easily express themselves through the instrument.

These easy-to-read, progressive exercises by Joanne Martin develop a student's reading skills one stage at a time, with many repetitions at each stage. I Can Read Music is designed as a first note-reading book for students of string instruments who have learned to play using an aural approach such as the Suzuki Method®, or for traditionally taught students who need extra note reading practice. Its presentation of new ideas is clear enough that it can be used daily at home by quite young children and their parents, with the teacher checking progress every week or two.
