Review
"This is a great way for new learners to start - kids or adults. If you don't know any theory it teaches you all you need to know about reading charts in 2/4 3/4 or 4/4 time. Also prepares you for reading if you're learning another instrument. Good to have all the duets which keep the teacher on his/her toes. The students like to be playing together with another musician and this is the only book so far that does it. It also works on the feet whereas the Rock School ones don't." By John Overton
