Hi there - I'm just emailing you to tell you how much I love your Oboe duet books, especially the vast range of Christmas music! I have all of them!
I'm an oboe and double bass teacher based in Dublin, and I am very much a Christmas enthusiast. I'm known among my students for wearing Christmas socks 365 days a year (they've checked!!)
I've taken on some very keen adult double bass students this year, and I'll be buying your double bass Xmas duets to play with them as the time approaches... Given the brilliance of the oboe books, I'm really looking forward to it. Many thanks and keep up the good work! Eimear
Hello - I love the arrangements We just played some today! Have a lovely Christmas and thanks for providing beginner bassoonists with some great music!! Pauline
Hi there! I have been really impressed with your books! I have been wishing for a long time there was such a thing as instrument specific theory books, and now I've found them I intend to get your whole selection of flute books- they are excellent. I've got a few of my students to buy your books, I've told my mother in law about you (she's a violin teacher), so she's ordered some stuff from you. I just wanted to tell you how great I think your books are! Thank you ever so much - I will continue to use you and to recommend you to others xxx Janine
Your music books are great for beginners and improvers and the duet books are very well constructed.

The children are loving the books! Particularly my little violinist who tends to need a fair amount of encouragement to get practising but he’s so excited about Christmas that I can’t stop him sight reading his way through the carols... !! It will be nice to play along with them. Clare
I am loving your books.
