Harris and Crozier have produced a book that few serious teachers of music would wish to be without.

TES 17/11/2000

Authors Paul Harris and Richard Crozier intend that the book be both sympathetic towards and stimulating for music teachers. In both aims they succeed... This useful book is clearly and authoritatively written and thoroughly covers the considerations of instrumental teachers.

The Strad Nov 00

All considered, there is not a chapter too many in what must surely be the first and unbetterable vade mecum of its kind for instrumental and singing teachers wishing to renew their teaching troth in line with the changing demands of the new Millennium.

This guide is an absolute must for music teachers... it will focus and stimulate the interaction between pupil/student and the teacher. I can highly recommend this publication to every serious teacher.

The Recorder Magazine Spring 2001

I was very impressed with this book... it will become essential reading material for all instrumental teachers. It is full of useful and sensible advice. The book is well presented... If you teach and haven't got a copy yet, I urge you to order one today.
