Reviews / Votes
A good selection of show tunes here, and one which caters to all tastes, be they infantile or sophisticated, mainstream or obscure, all well arranged by Ms Marsh and including good notes on each song's ( and the shows they are part of) context and helpful performance notes, as well as the backing CD. One has to wonder why popular music books (where is tome sits quite comfortably) don't have performance notes, too. Highly recommended for both schools and homes.MI Pro Magazine, September 2007
