To round out your studio’s early elementary to elementary level repertoire, consider the following pieces that are designed for teen to adult students.  These pieces focus on creating a soundscape or image that sounds mature and complex while staying at your beginner student’s playing level.  All are suitable for showcasing at your studio recital!

  • First Snow: Elementary to late elementary rote/note-reading showstopper for Winter recitals.
  • The Blizzard: Elementary to late elementary rote/note-reading piece that brings the mystery and drama of a blizzard to Winter recitals.
  • Northern Lights: Late elementary (rote) to early intermediate level piece that creates an ethereal moodscape in a Mixolydian mode.
  • Time Of Renewal: Early elementary rote piece that explores 4th intervals.  Fantastic as an impressive duet recital piece for this level.

What is a studio licence?

When you purchase “The First Winter – Soundscapes” collection you get a studio-licence PDF of the piece.  These piano pieces are sent digitally via an email receipt.  If you have a multi-teacher studio, please contact Rosemarie directly for additional licences.  Thanks!

A studio licence is a great way to stretch your studio repertoire budget.  Purchase music once and use for years (even decades) with students you directly teach!  For online teachers, if you share the piece during online lessons, students must print immediately and not retain an electronic copy of the piece.

For more information on your studio licence, check out the Terms and Conditions page.

When you purchase a collection you will need a program to open zip files to access all pieces within the collection.

Should I print all pages for students?

Yes!  Each page is designed with students in mind.

  • Page 1: Cover art
  • Page 2: Description, tips for students to make it their own, terms of use
  • Page 3+: music
  • Last page: other music they may like

Students love a bit of cover art since it can help them get into the mood and story of a piece.   I’ve included ways to adapt or play with the music so students become part of the creative process.

The terms of use are there to educate students and their families about copyright law.  We know, but they may not realize what they are innocently doing may cause you to lose your studio licence.

Lastly, having other pieces at a similar level can keep students excited about what the next song in their musical journey can be!
