Another piano duet from the adventures of Percy! c.3'45
It is a big day, today this little black poodle, Percy, goes to the shops. The supermarket at Tahmoor is so full of exciting things. Percy goes rushing from one aisle to the other - must not forget the coffee - oh no, need to go back to aisle 3 - very important to get the dog food - oh no, that’s back in aisle 9 - and now I need to go back to aisle 5 for the milk and cream. Recovery time will be necessary at the coffee shop and then after that back to enjoy the peace of the countryside and a well deserved nap.
Composed 2023

Piano Progressions Anthology One
By Katie Zhukov
Regular price
$50.00
Beginner to Grade 3
48 piano works by Wirripang-published, Australian composers.
New repertoire for Piano Progressions was commissioned from Australian male and female composers to celebrate 10 years since the release of Wirripang Australian Piano Anthology in 2011. The first anthology consisted of three books, with 46 new works from Grade One to Diploma level. The success of this publication had led to two Australian Women Composers’ Anthologies in 2015 and 2019 and a third in 2021, all aiming at intermediate-to-advanced piano students. The feedback from teachers indicated the need for more repertoire at beginner-to-intermediate level, resulting in the two books of Piano Progressions that provide fresh teaching materials from Preliminary to Grade 6 level.
