Review:

Mark Wilson and Paul Wood have developed an engaging and accessible new series of string-playing method books… The presentation will appeal to young learners, and the careful, well-conceived pedagogy will thrill their teachers! Furthermore, the Stringtastic integrated approach gives proper deference to the social aspect of music-making by allowing violinists, violists, cellists, and bassists to play together from the start. I look forward to sharing this method with my young students and colleagues in early music education. - Dr. Mark Elliot Bergman, Director of Strings and Orchestral Studies, Sheridan College.

This entertaining book of 57 original pieces, composed by Wilson and Wood, is appealing to youngsters. Cute illustrations and amusing lyrics set to the music help foster a sense of rhythm. - Marian Heckenberg, Stringendo Magazine, April 2024
