For 6 Hands At 1 Piano. Par CORNICK MIKE. '4 More Afro-Caribbean Pieces for 6 Hands at 1 Piano” is the second of two volumes of arrangements by Mike Cornick. Suitable for intermediate players, these 'trios”, are as light-hearted as you would expect, both of the music and the format. They will be excellent material for informal soirées, having fun at a weekend course or perhaps as an encore or finale of a piano class concert. The folk songs in each volume have been chosen for their lively rhythms and robust harmonies and each volume includes an original piece by Mike Cornick that draws on the styles and mannerisms of the region. Mike has provided fingerings to alleviate the inevitable collisions between the many hands in close proximity but says, after all, that is part of the fun. This volume includes: 'Brown Girl in the Ring”, 'Sloop John B”, 'Long Time Gal” and Mike's own 'Caribbean Escapade”. Send us a YouTube video of yourself playing Mike's pieces, and we will post in on our website!/ Recueil / Piano 6 Mains

Sonatinas form a vital part of the teaching material for beginner and intermediate piano students. Compared to the great classic piano sonatas, they are technically and musically simpler and typically shorter. However, they still convey the basic elements of Classical style: the relation of melody to accompaniment, articulation, stylistically authentic playing, and correct interpretation. For the two volumes of Giraffe Piano, the most favoured and instructive of the sonatinas have been chosen. Volume 1 contains simpler pieces and Volume 2 is comprised of moderately difficult ones. Correct interpretation of the pieces is facilitated by added performance and fingering marks. Learning is helped along by clear presentation of the score, carefully placed page turns, and by inspiration from colour images showing the keyboard instruments of the 1720-1820 period for which the pieces were written. The most notable of them is the giraffe piano, after which the collection is named. / Piano
