"You successfully taught students of varied ability all at the same time. But you did so well, making each of us feel supported yet challenged at the same time. I am on Lesson 16 in your book—picking melody—and am having success thanks to your clearly written book and supportive CDs." -Nancy Rothwell, Seattle, WA
