Elementary Piano Trio
Buzzy Bumble Bee Boogie is a busy little boogie for a trio of friends at the elementary piano level. The boogie patters, buzzing bees and melodies are shared by all parts. Students play from the individual pages while the teacher follows along on the conductor’s score. Simple rhythms, single stave reading ( with hand designation) and jazz sounds make for a delightful and appealing recital or festival trio. A real audience pleaser.

An elementary piano double duo (two pianos; eight hands)
Four Pipers is an appealing elementary double duo for young pianists. Each part is written on an individual page for ease of reading and performance purposes. The staggered entry, grace notes/ drone bass and shared melodies combine to create a delightful performance work for Pre-Grade One performers. Conductor score included.
“I have played – and loved – ensembles from the time I was little! Playing with friends and family was so much fun! I wrote Four Pipers for my students but must admit that as a child I loved to play works with a drone (bagpipe-style) bass line – hence the piper idea. It is interesting to note that my son began playing the bagpipes as a young man and now my nephew has begun studies too. I do love to hear them in wide open spaces.” Debra

An elementary piano duet (one piano; four hands)
Giddy-Up! Suzie is a ‘fun’ piano duet for elementary performers. The staggered entry, use of the wood block for the ‘clip-clop’ of Suzie, and the western style bass combine to create an appealing duet.
About the Artwork: The graphic designer, Scott Clarke, has done such amazing work on my covers, I can’t thank him enough. This cover has special meaning – obviously this is not Suzie (as she was white and is long gone) but instead it is one of my current Shetland ponies – Ladybug. The orignal photo is of Ladybug taking myself and my grandson’s for a Sunday stroll. Note – she is a little chubby too! Debra
Hippo Stroll is an attractive jazz duet (1 piano/4 hands) for late elementary performers – the secondo is slighty more difficult than the primo (ideal for siblings). The syncopations, harmonies and shared melodies will make these hippos popular at your next performance.
