Having already read one of Erich Andreas's other works, "Ukelele Mastery Simplified," I grabbed a copy of "How to Read Music" as a companion to it, helping me along on my musical journey.  I thought I already knew how to read music but Andreas explains every aspect of the written music standard that has served the arts for hundreds of years.  He points out some of the subtleties of music's lexicon, lays out a less cumbersome method for deciphering what is printed on the staff.Though the content is valuable, what jumped out at me is that Andreas is a musical business man and is selling a system.  I thought the hyperlinks that periodically asked for "Five Star Reviews" were kind of cheesy.  I think Andreas's method is probably good enough that his readers will catch on without the ads and will want to explore the other materials he offers.Read this book for the content explaining musical concepts.  Skip over the pleas for reviews and the music method sales info and you'll get your money's worth.
