"Lying within the covers of this expensively put together clothbound volume, which at a passing glance resembles a PhD thesis bound in all its black and gold finery, is music of extraordinary cultural significance . . . I am sure libraries will be equally keen to invest in this anthology, not just for its consistent clarity of print and robust quality of paper, but for its all-embracing styles and ease of navigation . . . There is far more here than a token assemblage of jazz sketches interspersed with nodes in the direction of Negro spirituals, and the ingenuity of many of the pieces will come as a welcome source of nourishment for teachers targeting the mid to high grades (and beyond)." - Mark Tanner, Piano Professional, Autumn
2009 "I cannot begin to say enough in praise of both the pedagogical as well as the "student-friendly" value of this wonderful new set of repertoire. Students found the melodies and the rhythms to be captivating . . . Mr. Nyaho has provided teachers and students with repertoire that greatly expands our musical horizon . . . Many of the works are short in length and perfect for those students whose focusing and attention span are more limited . . . BRAVO to Mr. Nyaho for allowing teachers and students an insight into much of the lovely but unknown music written in Africa and the Diaspora!" - Julia Amada Kruger, Piano Guild Notes, Spring 2010
