Review of 'Berklee contemporary music notation' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

From the Amazon book preview, I’m not impressed. Short and focussed on only the modern thing, and, of course, not accounting for vocalists.

There’s a couple of pages I’d probably like to read, but it’s not worth buying the whole book since I have Gould on my shopping wishlist (I already have the ability to peek into Gould’s occasionally, and while she’s also a bit too modern on the occasion I found her more agreeable).

This is not a full review. I’ve only read a couple of pages of this one, and several couples of pages of Gould’s, yet. Shelving this mostly because it was a musician forum’s rec.
