Exactly what I was hoping for
Without this book offering a preview inside it was a crapshoot whether it was what I was looking for. Based on the positive reviews I decided to take a chance on it. The book is without a doubt exactly what I was hoping it to be. Highly visual, step by step imagery of the positions, description of each movement for each grade level plus a little bit extra such as pronunciations and terminology/reference guide. This is an awesome find. Thanks so much!
