Rezensionen

The actual teaching book costs £9.95 and comes with a CD of example performances and backing tracks. Couple this with a beautiful repertoire book at only £6.95 and you have a fine package designed to stimulate and train beginners from the age of about 13 upwards. It incorporates all sorts of music and is presented in an attractive, unpatronising and adult manner. The Bullards have exemplary credentials and I admire the way they have gone about this difficult task. John York, Piano Sept 2007
