        Moving On

        By Jocelyn E Kotchie

        Regular price $10.00 Sale

        Piano solo, c.2'00.  Grade 2

        This piece was written for teens, although it equally will resonate with adults and with many pre-teens.

        The journey through adolescence can be a dark and lonely experience and there is often a tendency for young people to immerse themselves in melancholia. As always in writing for teens, my aim has been to create a balance between allowing the young person to live fully into their emotional life while also giving them a window of light, hope and joy to aspire to so that both the emotional and spiritual needs of adolescence are being met. As such, the music is deeply evocative but any darkness is tempered with light so that the psyche is protected, nourished and enriched. 
        Composed 2016

                        Nest in the Rose Bush, The

                        By Miriam Hyde

                        Regular price $15.00 Sale

                        Piano Solo. Grade 3

                        When Miriam Hyde went to the Ursuline Convent in Ashbury (a suburb of Sydney) in November 1964 to examine piano students, she was shown a nest in a rose bush, containing baby birds. She was very touched by this incident in Nature and wrote this piece promptly to send to the staff and their pupils.  Two years later when it was first published, Miss Hyde sent a printed copy to the Convent. It happened to be the same time of year. She received a letter of thanks, which included this paragraph:'I love the little piece, and never walk among those roses without remembering it and its inspiration. The little birds are still around, but too wise now, ever to build again in that rose bush!'.  Christine Edwards July 2016
                        Date of composition 1966.

                          On the Run

                          By Alice Bannan

                          Regular price $10.00 Sale

                          Piano solo, c.0'55.  Grade Early Intermediate

                          This energetic and flashy piece tells the story of an exciting escape, such as a mouse running away from a cat or a high-speed car chase through city streets.  Both hands play matching chromatics which are only a semi-tone apart, giving the piece a distinctive, edgy sound.  In On The Run, the student works their way across the whole piano keyboard, making it a fantastic performance piece.
