I did not think I was EVER going to finish this. It was like purgatory. Get this...this book was intended for high school audiences. It is FIFTY chapters long. (413 pages of prose). I'm not a writer, but I think it's pretty safe to say that if you're writing a music book geared toward teenagers, rule one would be DON'T MAKE IT FIFTY CHAPTERS.
The worst part was that in order to get to fifty chapters, she had to repeat herself. She had to repeat herself A LOT.
All that being said, there were SOME valuable things in the book, and I will probably copy a chapter or two to give to students as needs arise. It will be handy to have concise chapters on specific subjects at those times.

Really loved this book - it was engaging and full of helpful information. I would have really appreciated this book when I was back in high school and considering a degree in music performance. If you know a student(s) in that position, do them a favor and recommend they read this book! A side note: the first book in this series is also excellent and should be required reading for anyone considering a career as a teacher (not just a music teacher).
