Reviews
"As a professional musician who is sometimes burdened with the idea that ‘I know too much to explain music to anyone!’, I enthusiastically endorse this book! It is a wonderful way to enter and explore the adventure that is music, each step expertly presented to ensure a pleasurable and productive experience for any reader!" Mark Isham – Grammy and Emmy Award-winning, Academy Award-nominated Performer and Composer (Crash, A River Runs Through It, Bobby, Rules of Engagement, Blade and many more)
"As the musical director for Mad Hatter Studios in Los Angeles, I was looking for educational materials to use for helping to teach musicians. I think [this book] is great! It is used as a reference by other people here also, when specific music concepts or data need to be learned. I can definitely recommend it!" Emanuele Ruffinengo – Musical Director-Mad Hatter Studios, 3-Time Grammy winner; co-producer of Chick Corea's album To The Stars
“Bill Keis' book is perhaps the most comprehensive and easily assimilated book on music theory that I have come across in my 30 years as a musician and vocalist.” Raven Kane – composer and vocalist (has sung and/or performed with Cher, Dolly Parton, Eric Burdon, Leonard Cohen, Kenny Loggins, Aaron Neville, Ringo Starr, Diana Ross, Willie Nelson and Paul McCartney; was Neil Diamond's duet partner on his "Live Across America" tour; film credits as a vocalist include Disney’s Tigger and Aladdin, Mermaids, Days of Thunder, Land Before Time, Joe Versus the Volcano, Mindgames, Made in America, Dracula: Dead and Loving It, and Grace of my Heart)
“This is a must for the library of anyone studying music. It is a luminous reference, a thorough text and a great study guide. It is clear, concise, instructive and interesting. One could not ask for more from a text.” D. Gareth Wootton, M.D. – Plastic Surgeon and piano student
“When I got your book I was stunned. I told a friend he needs to look at this book by this guy who is the buddha of music. I have never seen such accomplishment in music. I had about four years of music in public school and some guitar teachers. Other than that I am self-taught on the guitar and at recording. I have missed a lot of the knowledge of music. Thank you for this book- I will make use of it and study it as my music bible.” – Jon Ellzey
