Piano Progressions Anthology Two
By Katie Zhukov
Regular price
$50.00
Grades 3 to 6
32 piano works by Wirripang-published, Australian composers.
New repertoire for Piano Progressions was commissioned from Australian male and female composers to celebrate 10 years since the release of Wirripang Australian Piano Anthology in 2011. The first anthology consisted of three books, with 46 new works from Grade One to Diploma level. The success of this publication had led to two Australian Women Composers’ Anthologies in 2015 and 2019 and a third in 2021, all aiming at intermediate-to-advanced piano students. The feedback from teachers indicated the need for more repertoire at beginner-to-intermediate level, resulting in the two books of Piano Progressions that provide fresh teaching materials from Preliminary to Grade 6 level.

The world is in chaos! It’s out-of-control. We’re searching for a Super-Hero to save us from the craziness.
Enter Super Special Secret Service Agent Sebastian, when he arrives he eliminates the anarchy, wins over the enemy, makes things right and …Saves the Planet !
23 piano solos covering grades 1-6 over the following pieces:

- Hecticity
- Super Special Secret Service Agent Sebastian
- The time is now
- Take the high ground

These pieces are generally of a more robust nature to previously released works by this composer.
