A great piece for the quick-fingered, the broken chords fit nicely under the hand, making this piece easier to play than it sounds. What more could you want?!

The 'echoes' in this piece are a good challenge, as the different dynamic levels are not as easy as they look!

Be sure to hold all the dotted semibreves (whole notes) in the left hand. It's tricky, but you'll get it after a short SPELL of practice!

The left hand melody takes us through some exotic harmony in this little waltz.

The melody reaches ever higher, as if trying to escape the grips of Hades, God of the Underworld. Will you manage to rise, triumphant?

Something about this piece spooked my dog out - you can hear him barking at the end of the video!

Grade 2
Cheeky more than scary, but with a bit of suspense thrown in. Make sure you hold the top notes in bars 5 - 8!

Quick fingers are needed here, but it all fits under the hand nicely, and it's more fun than practising scales!

Once you have learnt this piece, try playing it down a tiny step (a semitone) on black keys - it will sound exactly the same, just a little lower. In my video, I perform both versions. Give it a go!

Many of my pieces draw upon classical and jazz styles and structures. This piece is just me, from the heart.

This piece has a 'hoe-down' feel to it - a great 'feel good' piece!

I was sent this amazing video of Olivia playing Swimming with Seals, all the way from Arizona, US. I can't imagine a finer performance of this piece, as Olivia has observed every detail.

This sweet little tune uses notes which may be unfamiliar to the beginner, but once they realise the melody is the same, just an octave higher, it should be easy to learn.

As with my piece Running Aground, I've used a short, simple melody in the bass, and decorated it with an increasingly complex right hand part. Experiment with your own dynamics, as I have done in the video.

Interplay between major and minor characterises this piece, which some students might like to try with a swing rhythm.

This piece needs energy, punchy rhythms and a sense of drama!

Here's a challenge! Just like the mess I get in when I eat spaghetti, this piece will get your fingers in a twist - if you don't get your fingering right! Notice the off-beat accents in bars 13 and 14.

This piece was requested by a special little girl, whose mother it is my pleasure to teach. She loves tractors and hopes to ride one when she is older.

A nice piece to introduce changing hand positions. The video shows a very fast version, but it will still sound great a lot slower!
