It's a Help December 19, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is helpful in studying for the Praxis. It has a detailed outline of what information you should know.... and then sends you off to your old textbooks to gather the information. It would be nice if this book contained more actual information. (For example: instead of saying "Know german, italian, and french augmented sixth chords." It would actually tell you what a german, italian, and french augemented sixth chord is) However, I guess that might this book huge. It does a good job telling you what to expect on the praxis. SO, all in all it is helpful and I feel a lot better off with it than without it.
 Not that great November 17, 2007
I bought this product hoping that the practice tests would help me. Well, it only had 1 practice test for the music content knowledge. Also, the practice test was much easier than the real test. I don't think that this book prepared me very well. It did help me gain a little understanding of how the test would look and would be laid out. The test is set up with questions that the candidate will not be able to answer. I knew this going into the test and I thought that this book would help with that. It doesn't help as much as I think is necessary.
 I wish Amazon organized their information better... July 7, 2007

The book came when it was supposed to but I needed it sooner. When checking out I didn't see the option to expedite and after ordering it, I didn't know how long it would take. NOT the sellers fault. Amazon doesn't really organize the information well.
Useful, but not the only tool you will need. June 27, 2007

This book is wonderful for its' many lists of subjects to study, though you should be forwarned that the list is VERY extensive, and for me it was somewhat intimidating. I timed myself using the tests only after much studying so that I could see exactly how well I was doing and what I needed to brush up on the week before the test. (Just wish there were more practice tests!) There is also some really good general advice regarding taking the test.
That said, you will need to review your music history, theory, and music ed. materials before taking the test. I found that Music Appreciation books were great for music history review.
I guess my best bit of information regarding the success for this book is that even though standardized tests and I generally do not get along, I PASSED ON THE FIRST TRY with plenty of points to spare. Best of luck!!
