A vibrant and inspiring series … what better way to encourage students than with these tried and tested favourites.Murray McLachlan, EPTA

These books are essential collections of popular, exciting pieces. My favourites include the classic Top Cat!, Grieg’s romantic, lyrical Arietta and the delightful, jazzy Blue Sky Blues.
