Introduction and Foxtrot

By Ann Carr-boyd

$45.00 Sale

Mandolin ensemble quartet, c.6'40.  
The foxtrot is a dance which reached its height of popularity in the 1930s. The composer says, "In writing this piece, I first of all learned the steps of the foxtrot and listened to music created for it. The sounds remain wonderfully evocative and I have tried to re-create the mood, with its classical references combined with cheeky rhythms and colourful harmonies."inspired by the moods of a tabby cat, the music moves from sleepy to extremely lively. Composition Date 1993 rev. 2011

By Joanne Burrows, Ann Carr-Boyd, Brennan Keats

$35.00 Sale

Solos, duets and trios - for beginner students.

The Kaleidoscope series is aimed to provide teachers with a resource that has multiple options regarding the combination of keys, instrumental parts, repertoire, solo works and ensemble pieces including duets, trios and quartets providing flexi-score arrangements. For Theory, Musicianship, Music Craft

  • A range of genre’s and different composers are included across a number of different books.
  • Part one of the duets can be played as a solo piece.
  • The pieces are designed to build sight-reading and performance skills for instrumental students.
  • Playing with other students encourages peer learning, is motivating and fun and a great way to introduce performance for the shy or timid student.
  • Most of the piano parts are intentionally simple, so that a piano student may provide the accompaniment for either the solo or the duet.

In the easy and medium difficulty volumes pieces are presented in several keys.

    • Sometimes the arrangement of the duets is slightly modified to suit the range of the instrument or the difficulty level, thus the parts I and II are not identical across each key.
    • There is a simple piano accompaniment for most of the duets and may be performed by a student or the teacher.
    • Parts are included where required.
