Selected and arranged by Howard Harrison, this is a unique collection of exciting and varied music, suitable for the early grades. None of the pieces in this book have been chosen purely for their educational value; they have also been selected on their individual, purely musical strengths. The book is more than a selection of performable pieces. Each piece is roughly graded and varied in its demands, so that any player who works through the book will have the chance to consolidate and polish his/her technique.
