"There is a remarkable niche for this sort of material. For the hundreds of youngsters who have a desire to become rock stars, but have not yet mastered the guitar, much is of use in these volumes. Introducing aspects that more experienced players take for granted, we are provided with information such as how to choose the right instrument, what its constituent parts are and how to maintain it. On top of this are useful glossaries that provide the correct terminology (how many times have we heard our pupils refer to a sax ligature as a thingy?) and good information about choosing a music teacher, what sort of problems pupils might encounter and hints on practice. I would not hesitate to buy these for any school library - they are easy to read, well illustrated and provide just the right information for prospective students and parents, those already learning and, of equal importance, could also be valuable reference material for a wider variety of activities, such as the keep you kids quiet end of term project".
