Reviews
ABRSM is to be commended on these innovative publications that are certain to encourage development of ensemble and musicianship skills. * Australian Music Teacher *
The layout of the print music is exceptional. ... It is refreshing to see some new ensemble repertoire available. * Canadian Music Educator *
The Guitar Options Practice Book contains...abundant examples of the exercises in question. Sometimes regarded with fear and trepidation by classical musicians, these ear-development exercises could be immense fun within a group-teaching format. * Music Teacher *
