(Willis). Students will love the imagery of Naoko Ikeda's compositions, from the exotic "Habanera" and "Moon Flute" to the fun of "Beachside Step." All of the solos have her trademark Japanese perspective and great opportunities for interpretive instruction to make them truly unique. A wonderful addition to both teacher and student libraries. **Update: Naoko added performance notes and a poem in the latest edition (Feb 2015).
