I am very impressed with this song book and will use it widely in my teaching practice for pupils aiming for graded exams and for those who are not. It provides a wide selection of songs, particularly suitable for younger voices, but equally suitable for adults. The CDs pronunciation guides are extremely useful, and the backing tracks allow pupils who do not own a piano to practice without the need of a pianist.
This is a good synthis between notes on a page allowing teachers to provide a live accompaniment, and the clever use of a CD to free them up to observe their pupil better.
