Review of Giggles’n Kids Collection in the BCRMTA Progressions Magazine
“Short enough to easily hold a student’s interest and challenging enough to be useful for instruction, this book is a treasure trove for both learner and instructor. It could be used as a supplemental book for any method or learned from beginning to end. Highly recommended!” by Joyce Janzen
