How Big Are the Books?
A common complaint among purchasers of “How to...” eBooks is that the description didn’t really give them a clear idea of how big the books were and they are invariably disappointed.
Strings Series Music Books are around 3000-4000 words (plus many music exercises) or roughly 50 pages when formatted in Word. Obviously page sizes vary on Kindle. I’m positive you won’t feel ripped off; if you do contact Amazon for a refund!

Free Audio Downloads? How does that work?
As I write this you are currently unable to download anything other than text based files via 3G onto your Kindle. So if you’d like to take advantage of the free audio downloads visit stringsseriesmusic.co.uk on a PC or Mac and you are then free to store them on your Kindle, iPod or other music player!

Who are you?
My name is Mike Taylor and I am a musician and teacher. Much of my music book writing knowledge was gained when I wrote a syllabus for my Professional Musicianship degree. I learned even more about teaching during my two years as a fulltime music theory, guitar, bass and drum teacher. I no longer teach fulltime as I’m working more as a musician but I continue to learn from the awesome musicians I meet!
