Summary: Excellent
Comment: Haven't got very far yet in the course but well worth it so far. Having the CD to play along with helps a lot, doesn't really matter that I know very few of the songs.

Comment: I bought this for my 14 yr old daughter. I reviewed the book and found it to be simple yet comprehensive. The two audio CDs are great as well. Looks like I made a great choice!

Summary: Cheaper to buy the whole set
Comment: My six year old is through with book 1 and moving onto book 2 of this the set. I like that it has a comb binding so that it lays flat on his music stand. The other books (single set) are stitch bound and you have to crank on them to get them to lay flat. Also this one comes with a set of CDs with all the songs available in the set. It helps to have them hear the beat at the end of book one when they're working on 1/4 notes on 3/4 time.
