Infos

This book uses a simple hands-on approach, which is very accessible and ideal for beginners. It focuses on actually learning the instrument rather than a theoretical approach. Throughout the book there are practical exercises which are accompanied by advice, diagrams and an audio CD - all of which make this book clear and easy to follow.
