      This rating is for the audio guide only. You need to read and see this guide not hear. You can't really describe a treble cleft unless you show it. That's basic. Another basic in reading music is reading the symbols on a staff. How do you describe it without showing it to someone? While I know some musical terminology, a beginner won't know what anything is unless you show it to them. Some books just can not be audio books unless you tell a person to have a written book in front of them as they listen too.
