Take
an imaginary trip to faraway lands! This set
of four suites for elementary/late elementary
students is fun to play and reflects the inherent
flavor of each land you visit. Troika
was inspired by Russian fairy tales; pentatonic
melodies and open harmonies take you on A
Trip to China; African Adventure
leads you on a safari through the African plains;
and Cat Tales shows you just what life
is like in the land that is ruled by everyday
cats.

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. |
