Press Reviews
"I hope that this book will become a firm favourite for many people, whether they are pupils or teachers, as it has some rare qualities. It is a singing book that is full of variety, but not an uncomfortable mishmash, containing a balance in terms of ability and challenge, that will hopefully bring these unforgivably overlooked pieces to a fresh audience. More please!"
