Negative Positive
Title: Not a happy buyer
Review: I just got this book and will give it more work and perhaps come back and upgrade my rating but my initial reaction is extremely negative. There are essentially no instructions or descriptions of any of the exercises.The instructions consisted of (paraphrased for brevity) but this is all of them.Use a metronomeStart slow then increaseCurve fingersSit low..RelaxEnjoyThere were few fingering suggestions and none for the bass.I ran through the first 2 measures of most (which was enough to get the idea since each covers all keys basically by repeating the same thing 1/2 step up) and until the very end they seemed all to be variations on the same thing. The bass is non-standard and though he mentions using others there are no suggestions. The notation is 16th notes and no mention is made of perhaps swinging them.I'm on my way to order the other one of the same title, hopefully it will meet my needs better.
Is the review positive or negative?
