Back in January, we shared a PianoBookClub book that teachers could not stop talking about. As we planned April’s release, we kept thinking… we need to do that again.
So if you’ve been thinking about joining PianoBookClub, this is a great time.
April’s release is Icarus & Iron Stag: For Elementary Level 1B. It captures that same kind of magic, just at the next level (check out the reviews after the cover).

If you’re wondering if Icarus & Iron Stag is worth it… just take a look at what happened when Ice Dragon & Whisper Fox started popping up in studios. It didn’t just get played… it became the piece kids were asking for week after week.
And the messages we received said it all:
“I just purchased it and immediately thought of Fearless Fortissimo when I was looking through it. My littler students will love it, just like my older students love FF! And I like that we’ll be able to get creative and come up with a storyline for it.”
“I don’t know what kind of magic you used in the ‘Ice Dragon/Whisper Fox’ book but my students have started LOVING dynamics and making their songs come alive. Thanks again for another AMAZING PIANO BOOK CLUB BOOK!!”
“It’s lovely!!! I got mine, yesterday! I have 3 students who are going to LOVE this. I’m going to be printing and correlating today!!!”
“Ice Dragon/Whisper Fox is now a STUDIO favorite, i have younger students just begging for it. The older kids that were reluctant, now are all over it! This has been the best start to January my students have had.”
“I have two who were on the struggle bus and needed to make a lateral move in learning for a bit – they both loveeeeee this book!”

In Icarus & Iron Stag, Elementary Level 1B pianists step into a comic world where they are introduced to playing music with sharps and flats. Through engaging characters and a story-driven format, students begin to recognize how accidentals create a whole new musical landscape. It’s a motivating bridge from early note reading into more sophisticated music, wrapped in a visual format students are excited to open.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to join PianoBookClub… this is it.
What You Actually Get Inside PianoBookClub
PianoBookClub delivers a new digital piano book to your inbox every month.
Each book includes 6–8 thoughtfully leveled pieces, and over the course of the year, the variety is wide and intentionally balanced:
- early beginner and alpha note books
- elementary and late elementary collections
- expressive, story-driven music
- pop-influenced and classical-inspired teen music
- music that motivates very young students and older ones
It’s like having a growing, curated piano library that quietly builds itself one month at a time.
And because everything is studio-licensed, you can use the music freely with your students without worrying about restrictions.
