Canada's Music week

There is a richness to Canadian compositions for young piano players. At one time we only had what was available through the choices in the Conservatory books. Now Canadian publishing companies such as Mayfair, Black Cat and Red Leaf have lots of options available for teachers and students. Students can play jazz, lyrical, neo-classical and 12-tone styles. How fun is that?!? As we approach Canada's Music week beginning November 22nd, ask your teacher for a Canadian composition. The other option is to visit the websites of the publishers and see what is new. Most of the books are under $10 including shipping and on some of the sites you can get pieces for free to download and try. Bravo Canadian music, eh?
