Dave,
I think you let your personal opinion come in, and that sometimes can make
an author seem like they're biased, bitter, uniformed, etc.
"Because music necessarily begins at the beginning, it would be best if
children were taught to read music as early as possible, before they were
taught to read anything else whatever. More than likely there would be
very
much less dyslexia."
What evidence do you have that cases of dyslexia will be lessened with
early
music studies?
I don't disagree that music is something that would be beneficial for
children to be exposed to, but I wouldn't make any claims that it lessens
dyslexia, heightens left brain activity, or, creates a more culturally
aware
society (or let's say, if I did, I'd try to make sure that I prefaced it
with "In this writer's opinion...").
Probably the other big thing I notice is - is this for guitarists, or
musicians in general - it seems like you jump back and forth. I think
ultimately, this might be confusing for your readers - especially the
non-guitarists who might suddenly think they've fallen into the middle of
a
guitar theory manual, when they started with a general theory manual.
Some things to think about.
Steve
