This book does it's work very well. Through slow and steady practice of it's exercises, one can build up one's reading skills as fast as one practically can. It's hard work, but it doesn't get easier than this book.While the end of the book is focused on insanely complicated rhythmic scores, rarely to be seen outside very complicated 20th music, it's still good reading practice.

If you no nothing about Rhythmic notation I would suggest that you start with his other book, Basic Rhythmic training and then go on to this book, but if you already know how to read music and feel you are a bit rusty in the Rhythm department or want to be a better sight reader, rhythmicaly speaking, then this book is very good indeed.It starts with the basics, how rhythm is organized and the concepts of bar line and meter are explained, he deals with time signatures like 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4 and 7/4 and then 6/8, 9/8, 12/8 and 15/8, and also changing meters. Rhythmic Concepts like Hemiola, Downbeat, Upbeat, Changing the rate of the pulse are dealt with and the books end with a brief chapter on Polyrhythms (for more about Polyrhythms see Peter Magadinis books). A fine book to polish your Rhythmic skills. See also The book By Gary Hess.

I am using this book as a textbook for a class that meets 2 hours, once a week. After six weeks, I have astonished myself in my increased ability to understand, or to know what to do to understand, rhythms. The exercises in the book are like sit-ups in a book of exercise. They are worthless unless you do them. The personal aid of the professor is extremely helpful, but the exercises themselves are what works.
I carry around this book as I would a puzzle book. I do the rhythms just for fun. I enjoy reviewing old rhythms and speeding them up, or noticing new things about them.
The professor suggested that I use a metronome to give the steady pulse. It works.
