Using mildly contemporary soundsand colorful pianistic effects, eachsong in this book is a vibrantsound picture that students will

enjoy bringing to life in performance. While the pieces maybe enjoyed simply for their poetic and music content, theyare crafted in ways that help developing students master themusical and technical concepts needed to play standardimpressionist and contemporary literature. This late-elemen-tary level book features basic 5-finger patterns, easy rhyth-mic patterns (including 8th notes), and simple pedal use.

7 Solos: Blues for a Count • Fanfare • Fiesta March • MountainSunrise • October’s Farewell • Sand Swirls • Whoosh!

FROM THE COMPOSERI enjoy observing and experiencing nature in all its diverseforms. During those times, I invariably end up feeling manythings on a deep level. I hope that some of the variety andintensity of those feelings come through in my music.

Advice for TeachersBefore beginning to work out details of notes, fingeringarticulation, etc., please help the student get an idea aboutthe OVERALL sound, feeling and structure of the music.Also, when there are dynamic changes in the score, evokefrom the student WHY such changes are there: how mightthese relate to the title of the piece? To the sound of theharmonies at that point?

The Inspiration Behind Bruce’s MusicCreating educational piano music allows me to function asboth a composer of expressive music, and as a teacher-by-remote-control! I try to build implied pedagogicalsequences into the motivic patterns and formal structure ofthe music. Hopefully, this lights up the teacher’s path, whileat the same time gives the student music to play that is funand has expressive interpretive possibilities.

BILL BOYD

Jazz Prelims

FROM THE COMPOSERSince Bill is no longer here to speak for himself, we will recon-struct his thoughts based on conversations many of us havehad with him over the years when he wrote for Hal Leonard.

Advice for TeachersBill talked often about carefully observing the style differ-ences between rock ‘n roll, ragtime, swing, blues andbebop. It’s helpful to play the solo yourself first, for stu-dents, letting them hear the style and rhythmic vitality ofjazz in its best light before asking them to begin to studythe piece. Work tricky rhythms out with tapping exercises,or isolate those passages in the music, working the meas-ures so that the rhythms are not just “correct,” but alsosound “just right.” Trust your ear and instincts, guiding stu-dents along the path to a good, natural, jazz sensibility.Above all, have fun! Bill would have liked that.

The Inspiration Behind Bill’s Jazz SolosBill realized that jazz had to be fun to play and easy to under-stand for piano students of all ages. More than anything, hewanted to bring the world of jazz to students at their level ofexpertise. So, he did what he always did so well – he wroteoriginal, jazzy piano solos that are immediately within thegrasp of anyone’s ability, and yet sound like “the real thing.”

Jazz Starters (I, II, III) Bill BoydThese three delightful collections of original jazz tunes, writ-ten by master jazz composer Bill Boyd, imaginatively cap-ture the spirit and style of “real” jazz for the student per-former. Each collection features a wide variety of jazz styles,and is sure to provide many hours of enjoyment for stu-dents of all ages. A perfect introduction to jazz for the ele-mentary to late-elementary level student.

Music educator and composer DEBORAHBRADY began her career while still anundergraduate, teaching keyboard theorycourses at Shorter College. During the sameperiod, she also taught private piano andguitar. Nationally certified by the AmericanCollege of Musicians, Ms. Brady currently

operates a thriving private studio and composes educationalmusic. Ms. Brady holds a Bachelor of Music degree fromShorter College where she studied with Mr. William Knight,and completed her masters and Doctoral programs by exten-sion from Victory Institute. Her professional affiliations include:BMI, Music Teachers National Association, National Guild offPiano Teachers, National Federation of Music Clubs, GeorgiaMusic Teachers Association, and the Gwinnett County MusicTeachers Association.

FROM THE COMPOSERMy music expresses my “inner student.” These are thepieces that would have inspired and motivated me duringmy student days. Composing gives me the opportunity toenjoy the same excitement and sense of adventure I knewas a student because each piece allows me to explore a newand different musical landscape.

Advice for Teachers I love to hear my music played expressively. We teachersmust, of course, give our students the basic tools that willhelp them build a musical performance, but I live for thatmagical moment of transformation when the notes andsymbols on the page become the student’s own means ofpersonal expression.

The Inspiration Behind Debbie’s MusicWhen I compose, I feel as if I have tuned in on a creativefrequency, much like tuning in a radio station. My “radio”can be turned on by a word, mood, mental image, or sim-ply by sitting down at the piano in a receptive frame ofmind. I choose to believe that this “frequency” is God’s cre-ative force and I am simply a very grateful recipient of the“broadcast.”

ROSEMARY BARRETT BYERS hasenjoyed a varied career as pianist, conduc-tor, theatrical director, teacher, composerand arranger. Since completing a Masterof Music degree in piano performance atIndiana University, she has taught childrenand adults of all ages and levels in a home

studio and at various colleges and universities throughoutthe Southeast and Midwest. Several of her original children’smusicals such as Billy Angel’s Box, Miracle at Maple Hollow,CinderElf and The Weally Weird Wabbitt have been producedby show choirs and theater companies in Tennessee andKentucky. Other published piano compositions include CatTales, More Cat Tales, Clown-U-Copia and Blues Suite.

FROM THE COMPOSERMy music is really a synthesis of 4 previous “lives”: pianist,teacher, conductor, music theater director.

Advice for Teachers After notes, fingerings, dynamics, etc. are learned, try tofind the “groove” of the piece. I believe this is ultimatelywhat makes a piece work for the performer and for theaudience.

The Inspiration Behind Rosemary’s MusicWorking with students is the inspiration behind my com-positions and arrangements!

FROM THE COMPOSERHumor and beauty are very important to me, and peopleoften tell me my music reflects that. I also like to try newthings, like working with “odd” rhythms and creatingmelodic and harmonic surprises – above all, music shouldnever be boring!

Advice for Teachers My dearest hope is for teachers and students to enjoy play-ing my music, to have fun with it.

The Inspiration Behind Sondra’s MusicThere really isn’t a time when I’m not inspired to compose!Music, new and old, swirls around me almost all the time –I find myself humming in supermarkets and bank lines.Music is a wonderful companion – when you can hearmusic, you’re never alone, and I believe we all have this gift.

MATTHEW EDWARDS made his formaldebut as a piano soloist with the CarolinaYouth Symphony Orchestra at the age ofeleven, after only two years of piano study.Since that time, he has performed manyconcerts throughout the United States,and has been a prize winner in numerous

competitions, including the Grand Prize in the StravinskyAwards International Piano Competition and First Place inthe 1990 Music Teachers National Association CollegiateNational Finals. He has studied piano with Laurence Mortonand Robert Weirich, and in 1999, he completed his Doctorof Musical Arts degree in piano performance at the PeabodyConservatory of Music, under the instruction of RobertMcDonald. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor of Music atAnne Arundel Community College in Arnold, Maryland andmaintains a private piano studio at his home and continuesto perform and present workshops and masterclassesthroughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Matthew resides inColumbia, Maryland with his wife and their two children.

FROM THE COMPOSERThere is so much of “me” in my music, but if certain ele-ments are expressed the most, those might include the sen-timental, reflective side of me, as well as a good amount offun and surprise.

Advice for Teachers My music is very melodically dominated, so focus on voic-ing and tone production; look for the harmonic surprisesand put a special bit of emphasis there. And have fun!

The Inspiration Behind Matthew’s MusicI believe my best inspirations come from people and placesthat are close and dear to me, either currently or in mymemory. I’ve been inspired by my wife and children, byfriends, even by specific locations, such as Central Park inNew York City, and the moonlit lake at the summer camp Iattended as a child.

MICHELE EVANS FROM THE COMPOSERAnimal Tone Poems expresses my affection for all life on thisplanet. It’s a reflection of my deep respect for the creatureswe share this world with. As a child I spent many hours out-doors, studying ant hills, birds in their nests, and observingnature in general. I felt connected to the wildlife I encoun-tered and found an inner serenity communing with my nat-ural environment. This collection is my tribute to preservingbalanced ecologies, animals and their habitats.

Advice for TeachersAnimal Tone Poems is written for the intermediate studentand the songs are perfect for recitals. Each one is a musicaljourney, a glimpse into the world of an animal. Allow thestudent to interpret what the animal may be encountering,what kind of environment it is in, any other thoughts thatcome up when they play the composition. Use those ideasto enhance the performance.

The Inspiration Behind Michele’s MusicI am most inspired by the joy that I feel when my pieces areplayed by students, the musical growth I see taking place asa result, and the pleasure of knowing the sounds I create areadding more beauty to the world. For Animal Tone Poems, Ilet each animal dictate the notes I put on paper. It’s the mar-riage of music and the imagination that is magic for me.

PHILLIP KEVEREN, a multi-talented key-board artist and composer, displays atremendous versatility in both his concertperformances and his original works. Hecomposes in a variety of genres, and iswidely acclaimed for his piano publica-tions. Phillip is co-author and the MIDI

orchestrator of the internationally acclaimed Hal LeonardStudent Piano Library. He also arranges the folios of award-winning movie hits such as Beauty and the Beast and Titanicfor Hal Leonard Corporation. Mr. Keveren holds a Bachelorof Music in Composition from California State University,Northridge, and a Master of Music in Composition from theUniversity of Southern California. Phillip resides inTennessee with his wife and their two children.

FROM THE COMPOSERI think we are all pretty complicated creatures, capable of awide range of emotions. I approach the piano in a differentmood every day, and the pieces I write on any given daywill reflect that. For some reason, I tend to enjoy writingworks that explore a bittersweet sentiment.

Advice for Teachers and StudentsKeep your eyes open for all hints on the printed page(dynamics, articulation, etc.) that will help in your interpre-tation. I am trying my best to relay MY intentions. But, inthe end, use your own creativity and musical sensibilities tomake the piece speak for YOU. I often hear performances ofmy compositions that are slightly different than I imagined,but are musical in every way. That is thrilling to me!

The Inspiration Behind Phillip’s MusicI imagine the student in a recital. What piece will make themsound GREAT? What kind of piece will be exciting for themto share with friends, parents and grandparents? What piecewill inspire them in their continuing musical development? Ioften think back to my own experiences as a student anddraw upon those memories.

CAROL KLOSE, an accomplished per-former, teacher, clinician, composer andarranger, teaches piano and compositionprivately in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.Formerly on the faculty of the WisconsinCollege/Conservatory of Music, she hasconducted workshops and master classes

in the U.S. and Australia, specializing in student composition.With over twenty years in the music publishing field, heroriginal works include piano solos, duets, art songs, a musi-cal version of Dickens’ Christmas Carol, as well as pieces in theHal Leonard Student Piano Library and the NGPT AllisonContemporary Piano Collection. Ms. Klose holds degrees inPiano Performance from Rosary College (DominicanUniversity) (Summa cum Laude) and Villa SchifanoiaGraduate School of Fine Arts, Italy.

FROM THE COMPOSERI must confess that I am in love with the piano, so I try toexplore every facet of the piano’s sonority, hopefully creatingbeautiful and meaningful music that touches the listener andthe performer in a special way.

Advice for Teachers I think it’s helpful to begin by playing the piece, or part of it, relat-ing the style and character to the title. I’d also have the studenttry any unusual techniques – for example, moving between8va’s, hand crossing, or clusters. If the piece focuses on a partic-ular technical skill, I would demonstrate how to perform that skillwith ease and relaxation. Above all, I would have the student trya few measures or a melodic line up to tempo, to give him anidea of the kind of sound he will be striving for at home.

The Inspiration Behind Carol’s MusicThe sounds and movement in nature inspire many of mystudent pieces: for example, tweeting birds, sea creatures,or swirling wind. Life experiences and emotions also play abig part in the mood of my compositions. Lyrical, balancedmelodies are important to me, while at other times some-thing inside me wants to break loose with a Latin beat orsnappy jazz rhythm. Whatever the inspiration, I feel that apiece must always make musical and technical sense, sothat it can be played and interpreted with ease.

The waltz has been popular sincethe late 1700s, making it the old-est of all ballroom dances. Whileall waltzes are written in 3/4 ortriple time, the music itself can

portray a variety of styles and emotions, as these five imag-inative pieces beautifully illustrate. Whether it’s the delicatepurity of Crystal Ballerina, the jazzy harmonies of Lullaby inBlue, the wry humor of Maestro, There’s a Fly In My Waltz,the Viennese charm of Petite Waltz, or the sinister eerienessof Transylvania Ball, there’s something in this collection toappeal to every early-intermediate student. This music isoutstanding teaching material, as well as first-rate recitalfare. Keys: F major, D major (2), B-flat major, C minor.

JENNIFER LINN, an accomplished per-former and composer in St. Louis,Missouri, is a contributing composer andarranger for the Hal Leonard Student PianoLibrary. Ms. Linn has maintained a privatestudio for over 20 years. Her compositionshave been selected for the National

Federation of Music Clubs’ festival list and have been fea-tured in Keys magazine. Jennifer has presented lectures andworkshops for professional music teachers’ associations andconventions and frequently adjudicates festivals and com-petitions throughout the Midwest. She is currently on thefaculty for the 2004 Illinois Summer Youth Music PianoCamp where she has taught every summer since 1998. Ms.Linn received her B.M. and M.M. in Piano Performancefrom the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC)Conservatory of Music where she was the winner of theConcerto-Aria Competition.

FROM THE COMPOSERAll that I do in music comes from the heart. As complicat-ed as the heart can be to explain, it requires expression toreach maturity. I want others to experience the joy of musicthrough the piano and I try to express this desire in everypiece I write.

Advice for Teachers Before attacking all of the technical demands, be sure toattract students to the music first. If students are first intro-duced to the character, mood, and musical interest of apiece, they are more motivated to work on the skills need-ed to achieve a successful performance. Enthusiasm is con-tagious.

The Inspiration Behind Jennifer’s Music Beauty. Delighting in a moment of life. Inspiration mightcome visiting a spectacular place, looking out our kitchenwindow, or in an innocent glance. It appears in a sweetness,a pure thought, a silly giggle. Sometimes the beauty is atearful reality, but nonetheless beautiful when expressedthrough music.

This collection was inspired by thedesire to have more preparatoryliterature available for the interme-diate-level pianist to explore the

unique pianistic and musical challenges of the impression-ist style. Pianists who study this stunning set of solo pieceswill experience the layers of color, touch, and timing sonecessary to a fine interpretation of this style. Imaginativelytitled, with rich texture and color, they are a wonderfulintroduction into the half-tint world of impressionist pianomusic.

Les Petites Impressions

American Impressions

Les Petites Impressions

FROM THE COMPOSERThe music I write expresses mostly the emotional part ofmyself. This is not to say that the intellect does not step in tomold those emotions into a musical entity. I feel the need ofstronger images and symbols; music is the only thing I’vefound so far that can do that.

Advice for Teachers My main goal when I write music for the piano is to stir stu-dents' imagination and to make them participants of theemotions engendered in the piece and their imagery. Everyinterpretative aspect can be linked to this idea. Therefore, thebest advice I can give to teachers is to have students inter-nalize the images and emotions and talk about them, beforeeven attempting to tackle the technical aspect of the piece.

The Inspiration Behind Christos’ MusicI sit at the piano and “get into the groove” by simply let-ting my fingers follow the path, not unlike a blind person. Iam often amazed and surprised how far they can lead meand how much they can dig out. I then realize that thispiece may express such feelings, ideas, and images that Iexperienced at one point. Only then do I “suggest” a title,which of course cannot and does not represent everythingI felt while I was composing it.

FROM THE COMPOSERWhether composing or arranging, my music comes firstand foremost from the heart, which enables me to expressa wide range of human emotions.

Advice for Teachers and StudentsI’ve been told that a good bit of theory can be taught frommy music. Teachers should begin by emphasizing the struc-ture and adherence to form.

The Inspiration behind Eugénie’s MusicThe sheer joy of the creative process and connecting withothers through my music is what inspires me the most.
