Elementary to Mid-Elementary
This series is
designed to develop healthy, natural, and effective technique. Each
book is divided into units, and each unit focuses on one technical
concept utilizing imagery to help students understand the gesture
needed to produce the correct technique. Students get the opportunity
to play the technique using two short technical exercises followed by
several etudes to reinforce each concept. This approach allows
students to concentrate on one technique at a time, promoting mastery
of specific techniques and helping students make these technical
skills a habit in their playing. Contains information about each
etude and the composers. |

Valley, Lazy Afternoon, and Bad Way to Start the Day

elementary level piece that looks at over-pedaling from a student's
point of view. This delightful piece actually provides a good
introduction to using the damper pedal and how it creates a colorful
effect. |

elementary piece written in the middle C position is a cute story
about turkeys talkin' and walkin' down the road. The creative lyrics
describe the "hobble and gobble" sounds they make, and an
optional teacher duet part adds to the harmonic texture. Students

Late Elementary
Built using simple
pentascales and stepwise 5ths, this beautiful late elementary piece
has a haunting sound that is reminiscent of a Native American flute.
Skillful pedaling allows the melody to ring out as it floats from
phrase to phrase. Sure to be a favorite with students! |

Late Elementary
A musical flight
of fancy for the late elementary student, Prelude in D Minor
is a study in legato phrasing as the presto melody continually
flows from the L.H to the R.H, and then intersperses L.H. staccato
with R.H. legato in the B section. This charming piece then
returns to the original legato flow and ends with flourish! Sure to
delight your students and audience alike. |

Early Intermediate
Written in the key
of C, this early intermediate piece opens with a catchy syncopated
pattern that will energize you right from the start! Clever
contrasting patterns with varied articulations present a fun
challenge for students, and a fun visual for the audience as well. A
great encore for recitals! |

Intermediate
This intermediate
level solo has a bluesy swing feel that will put a smile on your face
and get your toes tapping! The L.H. portrays the "cunning"
movement with its short, syncopated bass figures, while the R.H. has
a clever use of grace-note accidentals that lend a feeling of
improvisation and will be a super introduction to the jazz idiom. |

Late Intermediate
This late
intermediate level solo was commissioned for the 20th anniversary of
the Jordan River Chapter of the Utah Music Teachers Association.
Oquirrh, pronounced "Oak-er" means shining mountains. This
piece displays the image of these brilliant mountains through the
continuing running eighth note patterns in both hands with splashes
of color throughout. |
