Composed in October 2019, this book includes 12 ambient piano solos in quiet and reflective styles with each piece being in a different major key. It is so easy to always play in the keys that are easiest while avoiding the harder ones, so this set is somewhat of an set of etudes to encourage the piano student learn and be comfortable with every key. The YouTube example is of No. 1 while the MP3 is of No. 2. James Michael Stevens is a prolific composer residing in Nashville, TN and serves as the Music Department Chairman of Welch College.

"Autumn Amble" from "Starlight Dreams: Etudes for Piano" by Karen Biehl (Maestra Music).

Maestra Music's piano etudes were composed with students in mind, in keys and patterns that are easy and fun to play, yet invoke the evocative spirit and soul of Romantic/Classical music, in a form that is accessible to all. Just as the soundtrack sets the tone of the scene in a movie, the compositions of Maestra Music intend to set the stage for the creative mind to flourish.

It is my hope to spark the desire to learn, study and create by exploring and sharing music that inspires students to reflect, find and express the voice of their soul. When we are focused on creative expression, we focus on our truest self and as a result put our best foot forward in all our endeavors.

Ballet piano sheet music for battements tendus (centre practice) from Robert Long's Etudes II album. Steady and intense. Towards the end, this piece takes on an Eastern European feel.

Ballet piano sheet music for grands battements (centre practice) from Robert Long's Etudes II album. A polonaise with lots of bold bravura to coax the use of the large muscles needed for this hard working exercise.

Piano sheet music for grands battements en cloche from Robert Long's Etudes II album. A lively waltz with a nice swing and a bit of a Spanish feel, this piece should work well for grand allegro exercises as well.
