Critic Reviews
Best Education Publication 2010 MIA Award
Innovation in Printed Music Publishing 2010 MIA Award
Bullard's series is so appealing and well conceived that even students not participating in the ABRSM system should find it immensely useful ... The strength of the series lies in the fine quality and variety of the reading pieces and in the engagingly creative activities in the 'Make Music' sections ... Students having worked through these books are sure to be both better readers and better musicians. American Music Teacher
What Bullard offers piano teachers and students is different ... more concentrated and all-encompassing. Bullard's offering is unquestionably sensible, multi-purpose and invaluable not merely for improving sight-reading skills, but for educating and stimulating young pianists in their overall musical development.
