I've had several requests from teachers for more compilations of video game music. So, I am happy to share that I now have 8 volumes of video game music available over at Musicnotes!

Each volume is a digital "bundle" organized by level or by game. By purchasing these bundles, you'll save 40-50% over purchasing each piece in the collection separately!

I am excited to share 2 new additions to my "Mission: X" series that are now available at Piano Pronto!

These 2 mini-books each focus on a specific teaching concept that students often find to be tricky. 4 fun pieces, "mission training" theory pages, and optional bonus challenges will help your students master these concepts and have fun at the same time!

Helps beginners master the concept of accidentals. Concepts covered include: sharps, flats, naturals, half steps, and whole steps.

Helps late beginners build confidence playing in minor keys. Concepts covered include: natural and harmonic minor scales, identifying major and minor triads, primary chords in minor keys, and understanding the relationship between relative major and minor.

Check out my blog post on the Piano Pronto site HERE to learn more about the inspiration behind these 2 volumes and to get a sneak peek at the music!

What do you think? Would you like to see more mini-books like these? What concepts or themes do you think your students would enjoy? I'd love to hear from you in the comments!
