<\/span><\/p>\n Imagine a miniature world where spiders, butterflies, ants and ladybirds come together for a \u2018Garden Party\u2019. Each of the 13 pieces in the collection illustrate a different party-goer; whether it be the marching beetles, Miss Centipede who has lost her shoes, or the grasshopper who has had a little too much to drink.<\/p>\n The pieces in \u2018Garden Party\u2019 are designed to be creative in style, imaginative in character, accessible for performer and listener and sensitive to a student\u2019s developing technical needs. All pieces address the musical, technical and interpretative requirements for young players in a fun and imaginative way.<\/p>\n Pieces in the collection are arranged in progressive order and are designed to broaden and enhance the young pianist\u2019s technique. Each piece is musically varied and incorporates a different technical challenge, ranging from tonal balance and control, preparation and execution of slurs, melodic interest shared between the hands and freedom of wrist and arm movement.<\/p>\n \u2018Garden Party\u2019 contains a teacher\u2019s guide which outlines the various challenges in each piece along with some helpful practice suggestions. Ideal as a supplementary repertoire book, many of the pieces are suitable as performance material for recitals or competitions.<\/p>\n
