I got your Old MacDonald Had The Blues and Titanic books from Prima. Only a few students have had a chance to peek at them, but they were quite excited about the arrangements.
One is a big high school junior who says he only wants to play rock or "virtuostic" pieces.
So which song did the big kid like? Twinkle, Twinkle Superstar! He said it was the coolest arrangement he'd ever heard of that song. He also said he played it because he thought it was by Elton John because of the glasses! Another student came in as he was sightreading. She and her mother just gushed about how beautiful it was, and how she just *had* to learn it...so it looks like I will be ordering more of your books!
I can hardly wait until my little student (who is obsessed with everything Titanic) comes in Thursday so I can see his reaction to his new book! - Julia Brown, Minnesota, USA
Titanic Piano Blog The current discussion explores where the band played the night Titanic sank. And did the bands play together?
I'll sign your book! Just let me know the name and occasion and I'd be happy to personalize it for you.
Hi, I am Rebekah Maxner, a self-published composer and independent piano teacher. I create piano pieces with three goals in mind: to support your pedagogical approach, to excite interest in students, and to appeal to listeners at home and in recital.
This website puts you in touch with everything I do. View my books and games pages, visit my YouTube channel, and become a fan of the Red Leaf Pianoworks facebook page to stay up-to-date on the group of RL composers. When you begin teaching my pieces, check out my Composer's "Blog".
Some ideas as you plan ahead!
