The Cinderella Solos, The Skyward Solos, The Scarlet Solos
We launched this series with the release of The Cinderella Solos (available here). Composed using two-octave scales in C major and A minor, this classical-pop retelling of Cinderella was an instant hit. Check out the comments:
“My teen students are LOVING this book and can’t wait for the next installment. The pieces are lovely and are building confidence as they play through the keys of C Major and A minor – they don’t even realize they’re learning as they’re so engrossed in creating a moving soundtrack.”
“My students love this spellbinding collection of solos and so do I. Fun to play and just the right amount of challenge for students beginning the intermediate level. I now have students stating that their goal is to get to the Cinderella book level. This inspiring music is so motivating and what a gift that is!”
We followed up The Cinderella Solos with The Skyward Solos (available here). Composed using two-octave scales in G major and E minor this book lived up to the hype. Check out the comments:
“Andrea Dow has done it again! Beautiful and challenging pieces – especially appealing to teens. Not only is this great music but there are many teachable opportunities throughout the book.”
“These songs spur the imagination as they follow a storyline, and offer the student time to gain ownership of certain patterns in certain keys. Best? They’re FUN! I look forward to more of these in more keys.”
Next up was The Scarlet Solos (available here). Composed using two-octave scales in F major and D minor it captivated teen piano players. Check out the comments:
“I have students in the previous two books (The Cinderella Solos and The Skyward Solos–Jack & the Beanstalk), and I couldn’t believe how excited they got when I showed them this latest one!”
“Flowing, exciting, lyrical — every student finds something to love.”
