The FJH Pianist's Curriculum

Reaching Out, for Solo Piano

Emma Lou Diemer / edited by Helen Marlais

Discover and explore wonderfully modern sonorities! From lyrical (Slow, Sad Waltz, and Minor Serenade), to rhythmic (Drumming It Up), to simply amusing (Icicles, Teasing), Emma Lou Diemer asks the student to play with a colorful palette of different sounds, pedal effects, articulations, and in some cases, non-traditional techniques. These pieces are sure to bring enjoyment to the pianist and the listener.
