FastTrack is (you guessed it!) a quick way for
beginners to learn to play an instrument. Skeptical
of method books? (Yeah, we think they’re kind of
boring, too.) That’s why we’ve made FastTrack
different from the rest: user-friendly, with plenty of
cool songs, and a lot more fun! These books teach
you what you need to know to get playing right away,
but also the fun stuff you want to know. Plus, there’s
an added bonus: the last section of all the FastTrack
method books for different instuments is the same
so that players can form a band and jam together!
How cool is that?!
