Reviews of Starting Out:
“This handbook for the beginning flute teacher is a “must have” reference book. I would thoroughly recommend it for not only the beginning flute teacher but for all flute teachers as there is so much useful and practical information... Every chapter concludes with Traps and Troubleshooting. This is certainly a fantastic inclusion in such a handbook as it offers ideas on how to go about fixing some of the problems that we as flute teachers encounter every day.”
- Elizabeth Koch OAM ( Head of Woodwind & Performance, Elder Conservatorium of Music, University of Adelaide)

“I think I would be prepared to say that the book “Starting Out” is the best of its kind, but for one thing – it is the only one of its kind I have ever come across! It is not merely a book for beginner teachers, but a valuable resource for any flute teacher including those who have been teaching for years... I love its clarity, its commonsense, its scope and its wisdom…. It is, in fact, a tutor for every tutor, not just for those who are 'starting out'... “One feels eager at the prospect of starting a new chapter.”
- Margaret Crawford (Head of Flute, Australian National Academy of Music, Melbourne)
