This text presents the fundamental elements of western rhythmic music theory. Beginning with the characters that represent the duration of sound and silence, it progresses through the areas of "notation" culminating in the ability of a performer to replicate what a composer has written. The method of transcribing a piece of music into a readable form has given way to an abundance of performance and learning literature which benefits students and performers. Use this book for learning to read music and as a reference book when confronting unfamiliar rhythmic notation.
