Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am embarrassed that I actually bought this book of 48 pages without first examining it. I found no "super sight-reading secrets." In fact, I found nothing about reading music that I had not already learned from grade school music classes. I did not find the following sort of advice especially useful: "Get a book of all major and minor scales. Begin practicing all 24 major and minor keys." "Play every note of the Bach Chorales hands alone, without looking, one octave displaced." I was able to follow much of Richman's text only because I recognized what he was trying to say. I found little clarity in his writing and I was annoyed by his many ungrammatical sentences. My advice is to buy an old standby such as "Learn to Read Music" by Howard Shanet.
