Press Reviews

"...certainly has lived up to its title with my pupils...The educational value in this volume is vast...a superb contribution to early grades repertoire."
Winds, Summer 1993

"I do like the selection of music which Nicholas Hare has chosen for his Magic books.  24 pieces which range over a period of some four hundred years, will suit early graders.  Excellent teaching material and good value!"
Music Business, October 1993
