15 Sunny Pieces/15 Relaxing Pieces. Piano Vivace ? Piano Tranquillo is the name of the new music book just released by our successful author Barbara Arens. It's a book that's divided in two: turn it upside down and you can start on either side. Grouped around the two basic moods ?Vivace? and ?Tranquillo,? the finely honed pieces range from easy to medium difficulty. There are 15 pieces in each group, no piece longer than two pages. The miniatures transform places, activities or even lemon sherbet into musical images, with highly varied rhythms and recurring patterns of motions. Whether ragtime or blues, Rio or Hofbräuhaus, ?Rush Hour? or ?Time to Relax? ? the rich selection reflects many atmospheric shadings between ?tranquillo? and ?vivace?. The pieces should be a delight both for young keyboard artists and for adults getting themselves back into shape after a longer absence from the piano. ?Lucky for piano pupils to have a teacher who composes pieces like this! The Tranquillo pieces are soothing, relaxing and very pleasant to play. The Vivace ones are light-hearted and upbeat. This is a lovely volume that will appeal to teenagers and adult returners.?(Fiona Lau, Music Teacher)

NEW AND IMPROVED! Recently re-engraved and updated, John Thompson's Adult Piano Course was compiled with the mature student in mind. Adults have the same musical road to travel as the younger student, but the study material for a mature student will differ slightly in content. Since these beloved books were written and arranged especially for adults, they contain a wonderful mix of classical arrangements, well-known folk-tunes and outstanding originals that many will find a pleasure to learn and play. Most importantly, the student is always encouraged to play as artistically and with as much musical understanding as possible. This book includes access to orchestrated accompaniments online that can be downloaded or streamed. There are two tracks for each piece: a demo track with the piano part and one with just the accompaniment. / Piano
