Happy Memorial Day
Just wanted to take a moment to share a piano solo I came across called Candlelight by Wynn-Anne Rossi. Wanted to share a solo where we can reflect on those we have lost. This lyrical and legato song in the key of D Major creates a mood of reflection. Rossi uses a large portion of the piano, with ascending and descending lines in both clefs.

Two Short '50's and '60's songs
While preparing for the upcoming 50's and 60's Summer Project, had a chance to write out an arrangement of Twist and Shout performed by the Beatles and Jailhouse Rock. The one page songs consist of rhythms of quarter, eighth and whole notes. Jailhouse Rock consists of one note in the Bass Clef and four in the Treble Clef.

50's and 60's Piano Songs
The past few weeks I had a chance to start working on some of the 50's and 60's Rock and Roll songs for a Summer Project. I'm really energized about this camp, which will provide opportunities for students to play songs that will be fun for everyone to play and listen too. Here are some of the songs so far. All of these songs are from Faber's Rock 'n Roll series. Sufrin' Safari is from Level 1 by The Beach Boys, created with a simple melody that is a 5 finger melody concept.
