From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "So many Irish tunes to learn! These are little tunes that you can learn to fill your repertoire of Irish music! Each tune is only about two or three lines, and you can just repeat them over and over. The print is nice and clear, and the font is not too small. It's great to have a compilation of Irish Fiddle tunes in one volume like this! The only drawback is the binding, which makes it impossible to keep the book open on a music stand. But if you buy some little music clips, they work like a charm! It will take me a very long time to get through even half of the tunes in this book. I look forward to getting started on them!"; "Great unadulterated music of the back roads of Ireland that is clear and easy to read."
