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 (I know!) 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 double bass students this year, and I'll be buying your double bass Xmas duets to play with them. Given the brilliance of the oboe books, I'm really looking forward to it. Many thanks and keep up the good work! Eimear
Hi there! I have been really impressed with your books! I have been wishing for a long time there was instrument specific theory books, and now I've found them. 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
I am loving your books. Jessie
