This guide provides everything you need to know, explaining pitch, the treble clef, the bass clef, rhythm, accidentals, key signatures, scales and chords, along with a compendium of additional information. Then practise what you have learnt with the 'Play Along' sections containing simple, well-known examples of music, from 'Scarborough Fair' to 'Jerusalem'.
