Paint Box: Very First Concert Pieces for Piano

From the Publisher

New from June Armstrong: Take Ten - a fresh, exciting and sophisticated collection of jazz and blues inspired pieces for all fans of Dusty Blue.

Very First Concert Pieces for Piano - UK Pre Grade 1 to Grade 1

This vibrant collection contains 13 imaginative pieces, each inspired by a different colour. The pieces are almost entirely in five finger position. Some contain simple hand position changes.

REVIEW - Piano Professional

Cameos, such as Pillar Box Red, Dusty Blue and Emerald Green, actually 'sound' like their colours. Armstrong is endlessly imaginative despite the simple hand positions. The style is a mixture of diatonic, whole tone, Celtic minimalist, jazz and impressionist. Nothing jars and all seems inevitable an yet fresh. Each one is a gem. Short paragraphs on the pieces introduce concept like suspensions, counterpoint, triads and note clusters in a disarmingly natural way. Nancy Litten - ABRSM Examiner
