Kevin Olson writes in Notes from the Composer, I find it interesting that we use the word keys to describe the black and white levers on the piano that are pressed down and transformed into musical art. It's as if musicians have always understood that the piano has the ability to unlock our creativity an imagination. With these eighty-eight keys, pianists can open doors to new colors, images, and ideas, first by playing inspirational music by other composers, and eventually composing original pieces. The Imaginations series consists of five books starting with the Elementary level and will expand to the Early Advanced level. Kevin hopes these pieces will inspire you to unlock the amazing potential of your own imagination.
