Reviews / Votes
Designed for absolute beginners, these books include a variety of fun exercises and pieces designed to capture the interest of young players. Most are very short and designed to familiarise students with the instrument, with title such as Eeny Meeny Miney Mo, There's a Hole in the Sole of My Wellie and our own favourite, Goldfish Swimming Past the Ruined Castle.Mi Pro, September 2011
