Late elementary level. Nationally renowned composer Elvina Pearce presents 11 piano impressions reflecting moods, melodies, rhythms, and motives that are fresh, exciting, and full of student-pleasing devices. These are pieces with that "big sound" that really motivates students to excel. Titles are: Coronation Day * Latinfest * Memories * Tropical Tango * Weeping Willow * Gentle Breezes * Sword Dance * Gondola Ride * Toccata Breve * Desert Palms * Butterflies.

Equal parts for elementary-level students will assure a successful duet experience for both partners. Primo and secondo use five-finger positions with minimal hand position changes. Rests have been removed, allowing the student to focus on the movement of the melodic line. The descriptive titles match the mood and style of the music: Rise and Shine * Stargazing * Lazy Day * Festive Dance * Easy Does It * Bigfoot Stomp * Singin' the Blues * Cradle Song.

Intermediate level. Following the historical precedent of Bach, Chopin, Kabalevsky, and others, Elvina Pearce composed a set of preludes, either major or minor, for each white key. Each prelude creates one main mood and is usually made of one primary musical gesture such as broken chords, five-finger patterns, or scale passages.

Elvina Pearce has created seven character pieces following the pattern set by J.S. Bach, Chopin, Debussy, Kabalevsky, Shostakovich, and other master composers, each prelude in a different major or minor key. Each prelude allows for personal interpretation and will prepare performers to play preludes by master composers.
