Part sheet music book, part introductory musical lesson book, part character feature, and part music activity book! This was a fun, unexpectedly thorough collection of the songs from Season 1 of Steven Universe, and the BEST thing about it is that we get to see the intended melodies written out on manuscript paper, with harmonies written in where appropriate, and lyrics and everything.The only place it really falls short for me is that it tried to cram introductory music theory into the first few pages in a way that I do not think is accessible for its intended audience. Someone who can understand these hasty definitions with very few demonstrations or examples probably already reads music, and someone who can already read and write music on the level it requires to write songs probably won't be using the adorable "write a song about ___" prompts to make up their own tunes in the provided staff paper in the book. (I say this as someone who majored in music education. I think it just didn't take its time enough, and that taking that kind of time to present these concepts is beyond the scope of a book like this.)There are also a couple outright typos, like "time signatue" and "Mini Music Lession." That surprised me, because those are spell-check-level mistakes that should have been edited out in a major publisher's production.But on to the wonderful things about the book! First, it has an intro from ex-rock star Greg Universe, followed by a really authentic intro from Steven where he tells you there are a bunch of different ways to experiment with music.
