He writes with such understanding of the idioms and the limitations within which he must compose for really young pianists while never watering down or compromising his own inimitable style. Such a generous, impeccably presented selection of attractive, well-varied and useful pieces in a whole range of genres - a brilliant book to be used as a repertoire resource, a tutor, a sight-reading book, style guide - or just for having fun at the piano!' John York - Pianist and Teacher www.yorkpiano.co.uk 'This book is ideal for developing coordination between the hands. As well as providing appealing short pieces for a concert, it would be perfect for the reluctant sight-reader to master hands-together playing.' Hilary Garrett, Music Teacher Magazine / Piano
