Praise for The Adventures of Fearless Fortissimo

"I've just introduced this trilogy to 4 boys and 1 girl, ages 8-14 and they LOVE it! The songs tell the story and are a springboard for creative sounds for these students. One of these students was going to quit lessons, but the first book has changed his mind. He is loving the journey on the story and songs! I can't say enough about the sounds these songs are inspiring through my student's fingers. Our imagination is captured! Highly recommended, especially for any student tired of method books. Gems!"

"If only this was available when I was learning as a child! The comic book concept is a great idea which tweens and teens love. It ignites their imagination and really brings their practice on - aiding them in particular with dynamics and articulation. Not only do the young learners buzz about this material, but the adult learners also enjoy the pieces too. I can't recommend Andrea Dow enough!"

"The thrilling comic adventure approach has truly inspired my ten- year old boy who loves comics. I have struggled to keep him on a method book but he is so motivated by this book that I have been able to reinforce on note reading and building techniques. I highly recommended this fun collection!"
