As a teacher I find this an excellent book to begin with young pupils. Packed with great tunes (I don’t understand a one star review on here that suggest it’s lacking in tunes) and a great resource for teaching reading. highly recommended – having completed this book, even younger pupils fly when they move on to Get Set tutor book 1

I have been using the other books in this series and they are superbly well designed, encouraging the beginner to develop sight reading skills and equal dexterity with each hand. The system also teaches them to listen to what they are playing so they develop a musical ear. This book seems weirdly out of synch with that, teaching the use of musical symbols that a child will have to unlearn or will find confusing when confronted with actual music. I’ve used the main tutor books with children as young as three, and they are learning to read music before they can read words. This book is not one I can ever use in that way. Stick with the main tutor books: the more I use those the more I respect the thought and experience that has gone into them.

This was a brilliant recommendation from a friend.who teaches piano. We’ve worked through a page a day through the six week holidays and my 5 year old has loved it. It’s accessible for her to read the instructions and master each activity with a focus on rhythm, slowly introducing each note, which fingers to use and gradually moving onto the stave. Absolutely brilliant!

I’ve used this book before Get Set! Tutor 1 and found children make so much faster progress. Having the note names provided worked so much better than I though it would. I was sceptical but I am now a total covert. 5 children now have learnt so much faster note reading using this approach.

Very happy child at Xmas! Ty very much
by Adora
A cute little book that’s fun. It has lots of pictures and little stories that would be fun for a reception class aged child. I would use a different resource for children aged 7 and older.
