Songs for Autumn: Original Piano Solos (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781972652961)

Looking for fun, motivating autumn piano music that students will actually want to practice?

Songs for Autumn by Pamela Jack is a delightful collection of original piano solos for early elementary to elementary piano students, carefully written to provide engaging supplemental repertoire for lessons, recitals, festivals, sight-reading, and seasonal performances. Every piece has been studio-tested with real students and crafted to be both educational and enjoyable.

Unlike many fall-themed collections, these pieces capture the excitement, wonder, and mystery of autumn without being frightening or overly spooky. Students will explore imaginative musical adventures featuring wolves, bats, spiders, autumn winds, falling leaves, harvest celebrations, and even a bird who is happy he is not a turkey on Thanksgiving ... sparking creativity and encouraging expressive playing.

Many of the solos are written in a minor mode, giving them a mysterious, magical sound that children love during the autumn season. Students are naturally drawn to these colorful harmonies and memorable melodies, making practice feel more like storytelling than work.
