The Skyward Solos, V. U. Level X: Jack and the Beanstalk in G Major and E Minor for Intermediate Piano (Andrea and Trevor Dow's Very Useful Piano Library)

Perfect for 1. Later elementary-level piano students who are ready for something mature-sounding, contemporary , and not out of reach. 2. Advancing pianist-teens whose busy lives have them stressed—this music is accessible, playable without requiring tons of practice, and with undercurrents of excitement to interest them. In short, a relief from difficult contest pieces!These songs spur the imagination as they follow a storyline, and offer the student time to gain ownership of certain patterns in certain keys. Best? They’re FUN! I look forward to more of these in more keys. The Cinderella Solos focus on C and A minor. This one on G and E minor. What’ll be next????

I am loving this modern fairytale theme and creative ways to have students immersing themselves in the keys of G Major and E Minor. The music has a wonderful storytelling quality and so many skill building aspects!

Andrea and Trevor Dow are such gifted composers. Their music delights my students and me (piano teacher). Highly recommend to any student at this level.

The creativity, variety and musicality continues with this V.U.Library resource for Intermediate Level playing in G Major and em. These pieces are sure to be intriguing and develop expression articulating this newest storyline.

Andrea Dow has done it again! Beautiful and challenging pieces - especially appealing to teens. Not only is this great music, but there are many teachable opportunities throughout the book.
