I bought this book out of curiosity based on the reviews: I was expecting an intermediate to advanced level text, characterized by a a different take on ear training/theory/composition. In reality the book is at the level of very introductory courses in those topics. Just to be clear: It could not be used as a first year college introduction, and it might be appropriate at most for a music elective class, or a first very introductory course in a community college.
There is nothing wrong with writing elementary books but the title of the book is deceiving and to claim (as in the back cover) that this book will "develop your ability to hear and notate any style of music" and that it is the "definitive guide and reference book for composers, orchestrators etc .." is quite misleading.Get more detail about Hearing and Writing Music: Professional Training for Today's Musician (2nd Edition).
