(Educational Piano Library). The third volume in this popular series includes six more duets: Blue Christmas * Christmas Is A-Comin' (May God Bless You) * I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus * Merry Christmas, Darling * Shake Me I Rattle (Squeeze Me I Cry) * Silver Bells.

The beautiful sounds of Christmas music delight us each year anew, as we celebrate the Season with time-honored Christmas carols and songs. The eight early-elementary to elementary arrangements in this compilation will both please and motivate younger piano students, who always love to play melodies they are familiar with. Each solo features a single note melody, and is complete in itself. For a fuller, richer sound, the duet part for the teacher may be added.

Each book in this series contains six favorite Christmas carols arranged for four part ensembles. Part 1 is the solo version of the carol from Merry Christmas! with parts 2, 3 and 4 written using the same concepts and hand positions at the same level of difficulty. Also includes suggested sounds for electronic keyboards.

The beauty of the Barcarolle…the sumptuous flair of the flamenco dancer…the death-defying life of the torero…this third book in Catherine Rollin's fiery series serves up five late intermediate solos to tantalize and delight. With their rhythmic and melodic inventiveness, the pieces transport all who play or hear them to the colorful world of Spanish music. "El Torero" and "Gypsy Flamenco" were selected for Federation Festivals 2011-2013.

Share the joy of the season with a partner this Christmas! Like the beloved first volume, "4-Hands for Christmas, Volume 2" combines the talents of four well-known arrangers with timeless carols to delight pianists around the globe. Meeting the needs of a variety of moods from serene to celebratory, this collection will brighten your holiday services and programs.

Piano students will love these practical and highly musical volumes, which include carols presented in two sensational versions: first, as a simple song arrangement with words and a traditional chordal treatment, and second, as an elaborate solo version, complete with introductions, codas and fuller harmonizations!

The popular Christmas Festival series is designed for your students' first four years of study as they enjoy their favorite Christmas carols each season. Along with optional teacher/parent duets in Books 1 and 2, the student progresses from playing in five-finger position (both hands, Book 1; left hand, Book 2) to arrangements with simple accompaniments and close-position chords (Book 3) to varied accompaniment styles with alternate harmonies (Book 4).

Jazz, Rags & Blues, Book 4 contains original solos for late intermediate-level pianists that reflect the various styles of the jazz idiom. An excellent way to introduce your students to this distinctive American contribution to 20th century music.
