A Huge Range Of New Music

from October 2019

2020-03-29

Dear Parents and Students,

I think music is much more fun if you're enjoying the pieces you're playing!

I also believe that there's a much better chance that pieces will get practised...

With that in mind, during holidays I hunt down pieces that students have told me that they might be interested in playing.

There are perhaps 1000+ new pieces you can choose from.

Rather than spend lesson time looking at new pieces, I've created a short list of popular choices.

I'm really hoping that every students can find a few pieces that they'd like to play!

If you see something that inspires you, please let me know...

(ask me tomorrow and I'll pick a different song! (Corinne Bailey Rae???))

I love Keane's original version (OK, I'm a Keane fan!), with Tim Rice-Oxley's pounding piano chords...
