French composer, Alain Weber (b. 1930) writes Leçons Progressives de Lecture et de Rythme with much experience and expertise. This first volume, which considers note and rest values, time signatures and clefs in great detail, is essential to accompany basic theory progression.

Following graduation from the Paris Conservatoire, Weber spent time in Italy to develop his own musical style. However, he soon returned to the institution as a professor of theory and counterpoint. He is a significant contributor to important teaching materials and Leçons Progressives de Lecture et de Rythme is no exception.
