Danger Zone
By Jocelyn E Kotchie
Regular price
$30.00
Inspired by the demands of young male students for fast, dark and scary music - but not exclusively. Many young girls take pleasure in speed, and teenage girls relate strongly to rich dark textures and melodies which stimulate their emotional responses. The aim of these pieces is to cultivate sound technical development along with the requisite capturing of the imagination. Fast music provides a wonderful opportunity to work with and hone technical skills. Fast playing is most effective when countered with stasis or variation in the tempo.
Composed 2014

Regular price
$35.00
18 diverse piano duets - Beginner to Grade 3.
A delightful collaboration between three amazingly talented composers - Ann Carr-Boyd, Jocelyn E Kotchie and Joanne Burrows. Duets provide the essential experience of playing with someone else - learning to keep time, learning to keep pace with someone else, and exploring the outer reaches of the keyboard. The sooner this is introduced the better, and for this reason the easier duets in the book can be commenced early in the student’s tuition. Composed 2015

Double Trouble Let's Begin
By Joanne Burrows, Ann Carr-boyd, Jocelyn E Kotchie
Regular price
$35.00
18 diverse piano duets - for beginner students.
The duets include small pieces that can be learnt aurally, by rote, a selection of pieces using various five-finger and middle C positions that could be read by two beginners, and others where the tonal qualities of the piano can be explored.
It is never too early to get students with a partner of like age and ability to play together. The duets in this book have been ‘road tested’ by students aging from 6 years to 12 years old, as well as fellow teachers. It is amazing how playing with someone else improves the student’s rhythmic awareness and develops their aural skills while having fun.
A delightful collaboration between three amazingly talented composers - Ann Carr-Boyd, Jocelyn E Kotchie and Joanne Burrows. Double Trouble Let's Begin precedes their three other duet books Double Trouble Books 1, 2 and 3.
