Sharon Goodey has enjoyed a long and successful teaching career including teaching beginners at the Guildhall School of Music. With the aim of simplifying learning for her youngest students, she developed a method that focussed on numbers and colours. This proved to be enomously effective and appealing to young beginners. This original and novel teaching method is set out in a simple and inviting way which is instantly attractive to both teachers and their students. Traditional not reading is learnt throughout books one, two and three so the student is reading standard notation by the end of book three.
