Par THOMAS LINDA G.. This book and accompanying audio present a comprehensive array of ideas intended to add interest and decoration to basic melodies.

The accompanying audio is a valuable tool for learning both the melodies and embellishments, containing two versions of each song. The included techniques progress from basic to more challenging, and are varied to enhance the contrasting musical styles presented across eighteen songs.
