notes.<br />

patterns and octave movement.<br />
• Melody and harmony; beginning to include some basic<br />
chords.<br />
• Rhythm patterns now include eighths, dotted quarters<br />

Festive Celebration<br />
Carolyn Miller<br />
Early Intermediate Level<br />

chords in the bass, all building to an exciting<br />
conclusion.<br />

Et u d e f o r Left o r<br />
Rig h t Ha n d Al o n e<br />
Carolyn Miller<br />
Early Intermediate Level<br />
As the title suggests, this piece is ideal for the student who may be<br />
temporarily without the use of one hand. Although not quite a blues<br />
per se, the piece is spirited and lively, with considerable use of register<br />
and pedal. Works equally well with either hand; in C Major.<br />
00416817 .................................................................................$2.99
The Bubbling Brook<br />
Carolyn Miller<br />
Early Intermediate Level<br />
A vibrant, pretty piece! The light running<br />
16th notes are the perfect imitation of a gurgling<br />
brook, with a calm middle section that<br />
recalls a little bit of Pachelbel’s Canon in D.<br />
Lots of hand-over-hand motion.<br />

sighs. In G Major, with pedal throughout.<br />
00416834 ...........................................$2.99<br />
Carnival Waltz<br />
Eric Baumgartner<br />
Early Intermediate Level<br />
A delightful solo waltz with a melody reminiscent<br />
of a languid carousel. A stirring<br />
mid-section combined with a slight dissonance<br />
in the melody contributes to the<br />
carnival atmosphere.<br />
00416838 ...........................................$2.99<br />
Dance of the Unicorn<br />
Naoko Ikeda<br />

Naoko Ikeda<br />

composer’s love of<br />
the American art form.<br />
00416821 ...........................................$2.99<br />
Majestic Splendor<br />
Carolyn C. Setliff<br />

Majestic Splendor is broad, sweeping, and<br />

a beautiful melody, Setliff makes excellent<br />
use of a wide range of the keyboard making<br />
the piece sound expansive and much more<br />
difficult than it really is.<br />
00416818 ...........................................$2.99<br />

October Leaves<br />
Carolyn C. Setliff<br />
Later Elementary Level<br />
“October leaves... dancing, swirling, in the<br />
wind.” Chromatic scales as well as handover-hand<br />
arpeggios up and down the keyboard<br />
makes the piece sound more difficult<br />
than it is, and the patterns also help with<br />
memorizing. Key: G Minor.<br />
00416866 ...........................................$2.99<br />
Rain, Rain<br />
Carolyn Miller<br />
Early Elementary Level<br />
A delightful piece for the earliest beginner<br />

Star Wonders has enough charm to seduce<br />
even the most slothful student and is a complete<br />
delight to play! Dreamy, arpeggiated<br />
seventh chords and cool harmonies infuse<br />
the piece and make it perfect for developing<br />
phrasing and pedalling skills.<br />

Gillock believed that every student’s musical<br />
education should include experiences<br />
in a variety of popular stylings, including<br />
jazz, as a recurring phase of his or her<br />
studies. Students should also be encouraged<br />
to deviate from the written notes<br />
with their own improvisations if desired,<br />
for spontaneity is an essential ingredient<br />
