Martin Kutnowski

Elementary / Intermediate
As a young teacher, Martín Kutnowski would compose a specific piece to engage the particular personality or technical difficulties of one of his students. Surprised and amused, the student would make critiques, and the teacher would make improvements. This collection of miniature piano pieces is a living testament to the spontaneity and enthusiasm shared by both students and teacher during those many studio lessons.

Dianne Goolkasian Rahbee

Late Elementary / Intermediate
This artistic collection of over 30 piano miniatures are contrasting in nature – some are energetic, others lyrical – some are sad, others humorous. With variations on familiar melodies (Twinkle Winkle, Jack and Jill, Hickory Dickory Dock, and more) included among Rahbee’s original teaching pieces, these miniatures serve to help expand the student’s grasp of sound and texture, along with rhythmic and harmonic concepts. Use your imagination to create your very own interpretation, and enjoy these wonderful new pieces!
