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 Hello - I love the arrangements. Thanks for providing beginner bassoonists with some great music!! Pauline Very pleased to have found your Christmas songs for flute. Delighted with the Duets for Flute - 21 Christmas songs and the 50+ Classics for Flute. The selections in both cases were very appealing - so many of the tunes I had hoped for gathered together in one book. Sharon Hi there! 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 just wanted to tell you how great I think your books are! xxx Janine The children are loving the books! Particularly my little violinist who needs 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... !! Clare May I say how pleased I was to find that you now produce a piano accompaniment to go with the flute/clarinet parts. I already have your flute/clarinet music which is proving to be most useful. Many thanks. Sylvia I am loving your books. Jessie
