Little Notebook

<p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(83 90 98 1)>Composed as the thesis for my masters degree in Pedagogy these illustrated miniatures are greatly inspired by Stravinsky's Les Cinq Doigts. Using the pedagogical approach of making music for 5 Fingers in the same position the goal is to make great music with very little. Stravinsky did the same with his own cycle achieving a balance between pedagogy and art. Although they don't require a lot of movement on the keyboard these pieces are quite polyphonic which is a real challenge for the young musician. With a great variety of characters and atmospheres from dreamy to radiant to hectic these pieces are sure to capture your imagination. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Tirza Vogel who drew the illustrations and made this book that much richer. It was a joy composing these little pieces and I hope they will bring amazement and awe to your inner child.</span></p>
