“Five Stars. Has bright illustrations and simple instructions for teaching sight reading and singing correctly to kids.”
“Very clear and has given me great inspiration taking a note at a time to explore with young learners.”
“Great as a solfege method. I teach singing and use solfege with children from 6-10 years old and Singing for Kids is perfect for that. Includes simple explanations that are logical and helps children relate the names of the notes with the sound of them.”
