"Very good summary."

Great summary and lesson of some basic and intermediate musical terms and theory.
As someone mentioned before, French Horn music is ALWAYS in treble clef, except for maybe some different keyed Horns. You're typical F/Bb horn will be treble.
Also, I'd suggest a Glossary, and maybe a "disclaimer" of sorts noting that you're using the European/British note terminology.

"still very good"

one thing I'd like to point out is that the most common trick I've seen to learn the note names on the treble staff lines is Every Good Boy Does Fine(it even made it into a general psychology book I have this year). Also, there are a few grammatical errors here and there, but nothing bad enough where you can't figure out what you're trying to say. I like that you had a quiz at the end, but as I said about the game before, the standard now is whole, half, quarter, eighth. and so on, so if someone reads a different theory book, they could get confused about that. Also, are you not going to cover Finale in your software review section? It isn't as popular as it used to be but it's still one of the most popular brands of music software, and is usually less expensive than Sibelius(though admittedly not as good or versatile). Overall, very good lesson once again. Maybe moving a little too fast for those who really are beginners, but I still thought it was good.

"Superb"

Once again, great tutorial. There are some things I would like to comment about it though.

Usually, I see French horn music as treble clef, but whether or not it should be in treble or bass is not of great importance.

I also suggest that you refer to semibrieves, minims, etc. as whole notes, half notes, etc. due to the fact that those words are pretty confusing. <_<

Also, you might want to start going into instruments soon, as the music theory isn't just about reading notes <_<

Other than that, great job.

"Good tutorial"

by: serio

It's well detailed, and at the same time goes to the point on good information. Nice tricks to remember the notes. The organization is A+ material, the quiz is a good addition, and the music notes are easy to understand. Good overall tutorial, it takes a reasonable time to memorize the info but that's about everything in life, practice practice practice!!! Keep it up dude and keep going with this tutorials, I know lots of users are thankfully to have someone helping around with the understanding of the huge music world. 10/10 5/5 for your pleasure!!!
