Book Reviews of Hearing and Writing Music: Professional Training for Today's Musician (2nd Edition)
Book Review: A Remarkable Tool for Musicians of All Levels
Summary: 5 Stars
Many thanks to Ron Gorow for this book. Whether you're a beginning musician or a professional composer, there's a lifetime's worth of information and practical tips and exercises in this book. I'm a music teacher, musician and amateur composer. Studying this book has provided me with a wealth of compositional tools for my own musical pursuits, and has inspired me to give greater emphasis to transcription and composition in the curriculum I teach to K-3 elementary school children. In this book you'll find the practical and usable stuff the standard methodology books leave out. You'll learn about the harmonic series, tonality and building blocks for composition and improvisation. You'll learn how to develop your listening and transcription skills in ways that are useful in any context or setting. You'll learn things about notation that nobody before Ron Gorow has taken the time to distill into a concise, compact and usable format. You'll discover that you can trancribe what you hear and compose without a piano(Gustav Mahler composed symphonies in remote wilderness areas with just paper and pen. Duke Ellington wrote "Mood Indigo" on a paer bag sitting in a taxicab). Ron Gorow helps to bring a world of practical musical possibilities within our grasp. You'll find basic building blocks as well as ear training exercises that challenge even the most advanced ears. This book is written by someone who's actually been there and done it. If you take the time to study this book you will be rewarded.
