Reviews

My students delight in the variety and beauty of the repertoire in Kaleidoscopes Book 2 - and I delight in seeing them attain excellent technique, beautiful vibrato, and a uniquely personal self-expression so early in their musical study. This method has helped to be the creative, joyful, and effective teacher I have always wished to be! - Erika Walczak, Pasadena Conservatory of Music
