 The Ultimate Do it Yourself for Music Theory,
By Prof. Robin Giebelhausen (Illinois)

Jonathan Harnum has taken an overly complicated subject matter and made it learnable for anyone. And I do mean anyone!!I have been a student of music for over 13 years and a teacher for 3 and I found myself finding new and interesting (and humorous) facts about music theory. This book can teach anyone music theory and keep a smile on their face the entire time.

Trumpet Book Is Very Comprehensive (5 stars)
By Donald G. Young “Don Young” (Cranford, NJ USA)
This book is the most thorough treatment of the various aspects of trumpet playing that I have seen. Very informative and helpful. Even my current teacher, who has played with the Metropolitan Opera (NYC), was impressed.
