"The real gem of Loop Songs is the detailed information chart in the front. This tool will be invaluable for a young teacher. Each song is listed alphabetically, and the list is broken down into categories of style, level of difficulty and performance time...As I reviewed these pieces I found myself constantly humming and moving to the different meters used. This series of exercises will bring excitement into a warm-up setting."-- American Music Teacher
