  • Hit the Ground Running

    I love this whole system. The progression is logical and cumulative- new skills and information build on previously learned. The accompaniments make even the most basic little melodies sound like a 'real song' and give great satisfaction to students. Parents are pleased that they can support learning with the accompanying CDs.

  • A good beginner book set. High quality printing.

    A good beginner book set. High quality printing. Has several limitations: 1. Does not come with CD. You need to go online. 2. Requires adult supervision/explanation.

  • Disappointed

    I was disappointed that I didn't receive the 4 CDs in the set. There is a place for the 4 CDs, but just a sheet for online access to the audio. It wasn't clear in the description that the audio files were online only.
