Et u d e f o r Left o r
Rig h t Ha n d Al o n e
Carolyn Miller

and pedal. Works equally well with either hand; in C Major.
00416817 .................................................................................$2.99

The Bubbling Brook
Carolyn Miller

A vibrant, pretty piece! The light running
16th notes are the perfect imitation of a gurgling

Lots of hand-over-hand motion.
00416841 ...........................................$2.99

difficult than it really is.

Please see page 12 for description.
00416853 ...........................................$2.99
October Leaves
Carolyn C. Setliff
Later Elementary Level
“October leaves... dancing, swirling, in the
wind.” Chromatic scales as well as handover-hand
arpeggios up and down the keyboard
makes the piece sound more difficult
than it is, and the patterns also help with
memorizing. Key: G Minor.

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