Ellen G –
The Summer Fun collection has given me wonderful music choices for my young elementary students that are fun, sound harder than they are to play and that teach attainable musical elements not yet covered in their method books. For example, my student Nora just finished “Cartwheels” from this collection. It really helped her to use dynamics more expressively and also how to better use the sustain pedal. I am so proud of her finished solo and to hear her growth in these areas coming through in her playing.💜🎶
