*New* Pre Grade One pieces: Part III

I added a few more to my collection of modal pre-grade one pieces inspired by the beauty of B.C. Stroll Through Beacon Hill is an easy going piece that recalls the lovely sights of Beacon Hill Park in Victoria. Listen for the peacock saying hel-lo! Harbour Buzz is inspired by the amazingly talented artists and entertainers at the heart of the city-- the Inner Harbour. Double Decker Bus is a fun piece that keeps moving along, though there are always a few car horns to be heard. Finally, Two Banana Slugs brings back fond memories of hiking through the rainforest and spying these giant gastropods!

*New* Pre Grade One pieces: Part II

My new set of pieces inspired by Vancouver Island is complete! It's a short collection of six pieces, and each one is written in a different mode (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, and Aeolian). I hope you enjoy!

New!! Pre Grade One pieces inspired by B.C.

I'm really excited to be working on a collection of Pre Grade One pieces. These pieces are wholly inspired by my short time living on Vancouver Island, as well as many visits to the island throughout various stages of my life. I also decided to write them using the ancient church modes, as a learning experience for me as well as the students who will play them! I think you'll find each one has a unique sound as a result of the mode it is written in. This is just the first instalment-- more West Coast pieces to come soon!
