The piano is a wonderfully versatile instrument for children to learn and two of our
established authors have shown this with new publications in very different styles:
‘MicroLatin’ by Christopher Norton and ‘At the Piano’ by Carol Barratt. Adults are also
catered for in our selection including Piazzolla’s ‘El viaje’ containing magnificent tangos
and ‘Developing Rock Piano’ from the series containing Tim Richard’s award winning
‘Exploring Jazz Piano’.
A selection of string publications provide a wealth of material for all standards from
Edward Huws Jones’ ‘The Greek fiddler’, to Bernstein’s ‘Suite from West Side Story’ and
Stravinsky’s ‘Violin Collection’. Alternatively, as the wedding season approaches enjoy the
‘Wedding Collection’ for string quartet.
Vocal selections are plentiful. Following on from the success of Singing Sherlock 1 and 2,
Singing Sherlock 4 provides exciting repertoire for singing in primary schools. Other
releases include additions to the ’Best of’ series, introducing ‘Best of Canons and Rounds’.
For the accordion players among you we present ‘English Folk Tunes’, another gem
from The Schott World Music series. Whatever your instrument we hope you take
pleasure from browsing through this full and comprehensive selection and find lots of
new music to enjoy!
