The
older child or adult will find this tutor very good, especially
someone with little or no music theory background. It takes
the player to a competent level - approximately Grade 2-3.
The
"Tune Book" is very varied, and has solos, duets and trios
in a variety of styles (from Bach to Lionel Bart). It also
extends the theoretical concepts in the "Method Book", covering
syncopation, semiquavers, and the higher register. It includes
popular (Australian!) tunes for ensemble use. A very useful
book for solo or group tuition."

"There
is a wealth of material packed into the book that provides
the student with a basic armoury for making music intelligently.......
By the time the student has completed these books he or
she will have a sound understanding of the basics of music.
