Composers in Focus is a series of original piano collections celebrating the creative artistry of contemporary composers. It is through the work of these composers that the piano teaching repertoire is enlarged and enhanced.
It is my hope that students, teachers, and all others who experience this music will be enriched and inspired.
One of my very favorite things about music is that it can be packed full of surprise. Surprise can come in many forms: a quick change in dynamics; an unexpected time signature change; an unusual choice of harmony; a movement on the keyboard that awakens the imagination. All of these and more await you in the series of easy-to-play solos. Surprising Solos is written for students (and teachers) who are looking for music that is fresh...a comfortable stretch beyond the ordinary.
Expect the unexpected in Surprising Solos, Book One!
