"A comprehensive and extremely practical book." (Stringendo) "A 'help' or 'how-to' book arrives on my desk every other month - indeed a positive trend. Tipbook Music for Kids and Teens is among the best of the bunch, covering every conceivable area. There is a human, 'hands-on' quality to this book which promotes the message of enjoyment in music-making and offers every imaginable help towards this end. Well done, Tipbook team " (Music Teacher Magazine)
