First, I'd like to make everyone aware of a great new resource for Songwriters. My brother, Gary Ewer (who is the author of the Gary Ewer's Easy Music Theory course in use in many schools, colleges, and private homes throughout the world) has written a very excellent book called, "The Essential Secrets of Songwriting".
He's giving away a portion of the book for free right now at his web site, http://www.SecretsOfSongwriting.com. I've read the book myself, and (of course, he's my brother

And shameless promotion part 2: I myself have a course that teaches note-reading, available December 1, at http://www.NoteReadingBootCamp.com.
Thanks for listening!
