This series will highlight original pieces and arrangements from my own catalog and will include some of my own personal favorites, as well as some of my best-selling, most popular titles for each level.
Today I am highlighting showstopping recital pieces for early intermediates! Keep reading to see more....
Most of my early intermediate students (students in levels 3 and 4 of most method books) have strong opinions about the pieces they want to play. At recital time, I look for exciting pieces that sound more difficult than they are to play. Here are my top picks that will "wow" both students and audiences at your next recital!
