iBegin® Reader

Mark Stephens of IDR Solutions in London has been helping me tremendously by making suggestions as to how I might improve my web site and by writing a bespoke iBegin® Reader around his JPedal pdf viewer. iBegin® on the internet is slowly becoming a reality thanks to Mark's efforts and I'm extremely grateful to him.

iBegin® marches on

iBegin®, the series of ten illustrated, interactive, tutorial e-books for beginning wind instrumentalists, marches on towards the internet. All it needs is the completion of iBegin® Reader to be adjusted so that it's easy for beginners to use, then iBegin® will become available for download. If you would like to learn Flute, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, French Horn, Trumpet, Trombone, Mellophonium, Baritone/Euphonium (bass clef) or Tuba, in the comfort of your own home, please check this blog regularly. It's never too late to learn to play an instrument and enjoy the world of music. If the instrument you'd like to learn isn't listed, please contact me and I will advise you of its future availability.
