- Reviews: A.My pupils have really enjoyed playing these pieces, and with familiar and enjoyable songs I find it is easier to push them to try the harder ones with higher positions. They would make excellent concert pieces and are very useful for sight-reading exercises.Ensemble Magazine, May 2009B.….it is a fun publication that would encourage a little more playing at home between lessons and maybe even over the holidays. This would be an enjoyable Christmas present for an enthusiastic violin student who enjoys musical theatre.European String Teachers Association, Autumn 2008
