"The seven chapters provide thorough, practical, clear examples and exercises suitable for teaching both individuals and, in many cases, groups. For teachers accustomed to working only with individuals, the prospect of teaching groups of children can be daunting - this publication could prove an invaluable resource. One of the keys to its success is its logical, sequential presentation and focus on the 'building blocks' of music and playing. . . All of the 200-plus activities will prove useful, indeed often invaluable, to a teacher willing to take the time to explore them." - Matthew Jones, Music Teacher, September 07
