[Rosemary · Rating 3 out of 5]

Most of the pieces have finger numbers for every note except repeated notes. Then strangely, some pieces have no finger numbers at all. I dislike reliance on finger numbers and prefer methods which teach reading by interval, so this book is not for me.

The pieces are mostly traditional / nursery rhymes, and I have added a couple to my repertoire. There are attractive colour illustrations throughout.

There is also a link to online backing tracks and videos.

I don't recommend this method as I don't think it is pedagogically sound.

WE are working our way through this book, but keep with the favourites ... this old man and twinkle twinkle little star.
