The way to make this REALLY work for you, is to get a practice student. Give them a great deal, and tell them you're practicing on them. They'll be lucky, and you'll be ready to upgrade to real fees once you're done. The book is mainly oriented to older students (13 and up) but I will talk as well about the younger ages and how to do things with them, so take who you can. Adults may be easier for your first one, but some young ones are most excellent subjects :)
