More About the Memories collection:
“A Life Lived” is part of the ‘Memories’ collection for intermediate to advanced-level for people who like a bit of nostalgia.
The inspiration for this collection came from memories from my life: piano music I’ve loved, my grandmother’s life, as well as looking back on happy or bittersweet memories. You can use these pieces as either a fun look back or a way to express artistically some of the emotions you may be experiencing.
Songs found in the “Memories” collection are:
- A Life Lived: Early advanced/advanced level piece inspired by music from Billy Joel, Paul McCartney and Elton John
- Farewell, Old Friend: Early intermediate level piece for fans of ‘Lord Of The Rings’ or fantasy music
- Lena’s Journey: Intermediate/late intermediate level piece with an Eastern-European style with a hymn-like base.
What is a studio licence?
When you purchase “A Life Lived” you get a studio-licence PDF of the piece. This piece is 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 it 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 of piano solos, everything (sheet music, piece descriptions and “Composer notes”) is placed in one PDF for easy access. As a bonus, you also get each piece in the collection as a separate PDF for students who will only play one piece.
Should I Print All the PDF Pages?
Yes! Each page is designed with the piano player in mind.
