A CLOSER LOOK…
One of the unique aspects that separate these books from other method books, is that it is written completely in color. Every note has a dedicated color to help you visualize the notes easily and the colorful illustrations help support the content much more effectively then if we were to print in black and white.
Seeing a need for a more thorough, yet easy to understand lesson book, I decided to put my teaching techniques and methodologies into a comprehensive lesson curriculum that has been successfully tested and is now available for purchase.
