Solo Piano

Sounds of Siam for Piano - WM - intermediate piano piece patterned after the music styles of ancient Siam (modern-day Thailand), depicting musical instruments, dance, and music practices of Siam which are taught through generations and carried over to modern practice. The piece is in four short sections 'attacca' within one movement.

Battle of the Overlord - This fun elementary piece is part of a collaboration between composers and students in Portland OR. An annual concert, titled In Good Hands, features original compositions written for students. The composers and students decide together on a composition written according to the requests of the student. Lucus loves Ninjas! His favorite chords are F# major and minor. He requested a fast piece using those chords, with dynamics forte-piano-forte.

Mixolydian Sonatina - WM - This fun intermediate piano solo is patterned after the Mixolydian Mode, with hints of Western Harmonic structure. Composer suggestions help students become familiar with the structure. Recurring melodic and rhythm motifs unify the three movements, and contain some fun piano gymnastics and surprises.

Aurora -  Elementary level: Imagine an aurora in the night sky, and try to paint that musical picture as you play this dreamy whole tone creation.

Christmas Songs for Piano Primer Plus - a collection of songs chosen by and arranged for primer students. Ranging from early to extended primer. Using letters and finger numbers, and advancing through several positions, students work through the challenge to enjoy playing and singing the songs! They love sharing them with family and friends! The songs can be adapted to many teaching styles and method books

Hide 'n Seek - Elementary Level: A sneaky left hand tries to find and sneak up on right hand. Always play left hand soft -- even when you want to be loud -- keep it soft and sneaky. Slowing down and speeding up also makes it sneaky. Right hand is always trying to hide. Will you catch it? A study in playing chromatic.

Phrygian Nocturne - WM - Intermeditate Level: This dreamy nocturne is a collaboration between composer and student.  Nina requested a Nocturne in the Phrygian mode that would resemble the style of Chopin.

Rondo Spiritoso - This fun Intermediate Rondo is a collaboration between composer and student. Brian requested a fast, tonal piece in the key of G that is like Clementi.
