This delightful
collection from Valerie Roth Roubos will transport you to a whole new
world of musical discoveries. There are pieces that promote both
hands playing across the keyboard, with the LH playing in the treble
clef and the RH playing in the bass clef. Students will find pieces
that promote musical awareness by drawing on a variety of tempos
within a piece. Some pieces have the melody switching between the LH
and RH, which will encourage students to develop hand and finger
independence. Songs include: Ghost Ship; A Night in Madrid;
Postcard from Mars; and more. |

book features a boogie, a toccata, and a waltz. |
