Reviews

I have used this series to teach for the past 18 years. Book one is a great beginner book. It encourages students to learn to read music in that it puts in minimum fingerings. Book two is a little heavy on extensions and would be better if it included the beginning of shifting. Book three has a completely different format than Books one and two. It is divided in three sections: shifting exercises, scales up tot 4 flats and sharps, and skill building. The shifing exercises are a little dry, but are useful when combined with other etudes. The key section is excellent, especially the inclusion of a two part, Bach Chorale for every key.
