Century Volume I
By Larry Sitsky
Regular price
$25.00
The order of pieces is there not just for progression of difficulty, but for variety, challenge, inspiration as well. At one stage, the composer did sit down with one or more teachers and arrived at a purely subjective grading for each piece. As the composer claims, it will always be contentious, but at least indicates roughly the intent behind the ordering of the collection. Volume I includes mostly pieces for Prep - Level I. See Volume II.

Colour Play
By Jocelyn E Kotchie
Regular price
$30.00
... with Angus, Heather and Friends.
This full colour tutor piano book for the beginner student came about through a need I perceived for children to learn to read music in a child centred and developmentally appropriate way. Young children learn through imitation and imaginative play. They are creative beings, inspired by stories, pictures and colour and will happily absorb these and bring them to life. The child’s work, therefore, is rich with colour and pictures.
With this book, it is important that the child works independently so as to be fully immersed in this creative world and to feel the pride and satisfaction of a job well done.
The teacher’s job is to guide the learning, allowing time, space and a calm, peaceful environment for the work to take place.

Composers' Series, The - Volume 8(c) Piano Solos (Hutchens)
By Frank Hutchens
Regular price
$55.00
Frank Hutchens (1892-1965)
37 piano solos for elementary level (preliminary to 5), composed between early 1930s and 1950s.
All the works in this volume are suitable for the grades preliminary to approximately grade five standard. They exploit different pedagogical aspects of piano playing including a variety of articulations, dynamics, and pedalling. In most cases pedalling is specified and if possible, in terms of the development the student, should be used.
It is surprising how many of Hutchens’ works for piano are in a major key – predominantly G or D Major. As he was an extraordinary teacher, who taught at the NSW Conservatorium for almost 50 years - being one of the founders and first piano teachers, his music written for young and developing pianists is excellent pedagogical material. His language can be described as impressionistic rather than late romantic. He uses unsymmetrical phrases and the harmony, while basically tonal, explores chromaticism. He exploits both technical and musical aspects in terms of developing skills.
More comprehensive biographical notes are within the volume which also includes a CD of all the works.
