The Secret by Rudene Posted on 9/18/2017

My student recently listened to several pieces online and selected this piece to play. Her comments: 'I love this piece! I could see it as a mystical movie theme, full of suspense. Also, the octave higher parts made it sound as if it was fading away. The arpeggio at the end is beautiful, sounding like there's more to come!'

Ready to Rock! - Songbook by Chrissy Ricker by Sarah Posted on 9/15/2017

Chrissy can honestly do no wrong. Her pieces are always studio favorites and crowd pleasers for recitals. I purchase studio licenses for all of her books. They're that good!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Nutcracker - Arrangements by Lisa Donovan Lukas by Carolyn Posted on 9/8/2017

So excited to see this book available - I already have 3 students that want to start learning in it as soon as they can get it (September) and be ready for Christmas concerts! I love the arrangements for piano that capture the beautiful complexity of the songs and yet easy enough for piano student to learn and enjoy.

Mood Swings - Songbook by Jenny Walker by Heidi Posted on 9/5/2017

I love the variety of "moods" in this book! Each piece is unique and interesting for students and audiences. I bought it for a picky student and she chose several she wants to play!! I would like to see more from Ms. Walker!

Spotlight Solos Volume 1 by Diane Posted on 9/5/2017

My students love the pieces in Spotlight Solos 1. They are exciting, motivational, and contain many technical and pedagogical gems. A real winner!

Pronto Pizazz Volume 1 by Rudene Posted on 8/31/2017

Pronto Pizazz is a must-have book for my new beginning students. I like that the first song 'Off to the Races' gets them playing a 'big kid piece' right at the start! Wonderful teacher duets to make the student sound even more fantastic!

Epic - Rock-Style Solo by Chrissy Ricker by Rudene Posted on 8/31/2017

Lately, Epic has become one of my favorite pieces to give to students. It sounds really vibrant and makes the performer sound amazing. I love the changes in volume and the syncopated rhythms give them a challenge. My students played at a fundraiser a couple of weeks ago. One student performed Epic. Now, I have several requests to also play it. What a fun selection!

Whirlwind by Rudene Posted on 8/31/2017

I had received this piece in hardcopy a while back. I recently had a student finish this piece and played it with such zest. I can tell it will be one of her ones to showcase often this year. I can't wait to share it with a few others also!

Medley Magic: Volume 2 - Music by Chrissy Ricker by Rudene Posted on 8/31/2017

Love, Love, Love these pieces!!! I listened online recently, and purchased. Then, I printed and immediately went to the piano to play each piece. As I played, I could envision which student I had in mind to perform particular pieces. I think with the two medleys combined, we can start earlier than normal and they won't have to hear their family members say, 'Christmas music, already?' This Volume 2 collection is going to be so exciting for my more advanced students!!!

Masquerade - Music by Chrisanne Holm by Terry Posted on 8/28/2017

I LOVE this piece! Great Halloween piece for older student or any time of year. Great job, Chrisanne!!
