Linda W. Collins, a trained music educator, explains each new skill in the context of the tunes themselves. Each unit builds on the previous ones and focuses on a new technique. Suggested fingerings are included. Bits of music theory and notation are interwoven seamlessly into the units and are presented only as they are needed, making them easy to assimilate. This approach creates a solid foundation and enables the student to both play well and learn new music easily.
