A parent show thinks that his /her child needs some help at home with the music lessons, would benefit by this book. A parent / guardian can help the child to learn the names of the spaces and lines of each clef to the types of notes and the counting that goes with them etc. Of course, there is a chance that the person who is helping, will end up learning music... it's like a self-study course!
The main aspect of this book is that anyone can read and understand it. Its layout is simple, images are large and the general disposition is welcoming. You feel like buying the book when you see it in the shelves or in a website.
The second important point is that it applies to a variety of musical instruments: all keyboards (pianos included) and most string and wind instruments.
And last but least, it encourages composing from a very early stage. Often at exam levels when there is composition to be done, students ask " What am I going to compose?", " I don't even know how to start!", etc. Therefore, I think, at least this will give a start - at least to get the fear or the doubt (or both) out of the pupil's mind. Hopefully, there will be many lady composers in the future.
In a competitive world, help your child to add another skill to his/ her CV later. You both will enjoy the benefits.
