One read
eTipbook Music on Paper was written by two musicians with a background in classical music, latin, rock, jazz, and other styles. They wanted to create a book that does not treat music theory as stale or hard to grasp. And so they did. Successfully. The book covers pitch, staffs, clefs, time signatures, accidentals, dynamics, tempo, scales, form, transposition, solfège, chords, musical notation history, and more - and it takes only one read to fully grasp what it is all about.

Reference guide
The glossary and the extended index turn eTipbook Music on Paper into a handy reference guide, and the Tipcodes make the book fully come to life. As an extra, the book provides you with numerous shortcuts, memory joggers, and practical downloadable aids such as the chord pointers and scale pointers. So read it. And play like you never played before!
