⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This is a fantastic resource for both at school and distance learning. It is fantastic to have the QR codes and moves extremely well steadily through the skills. I love the way it can be used in short segments and the students can easily continue with their learning at home or in centres. Also like the way it links melodic notation and rhythm notation.
I would highly recommend it!!"
