Product description
For years, piano teachers remarked that Dennis Alexander's pieces were great for boys and suggested that he write a book of pieces with boys in mind. Drawing on his own teaching experiences, and recalling the kinds of pieces he would have liked to play at a similar age, he composed these engaging late elementary piano solos that incorporate strong rhythms, athletic leaps of the hands and big sounds. A gratifying collection for students who need a little extra motivation to practice!
Dennis Alexander (*1947) is a successful and popular American composer who has earned an international reputation as one of North America's most prolific and popular composers of instructional piano music for students of all levels. For 24 years he was a professor of piano performance and piano pedagogy at the University of Montana. He retired in 1996 and has been mainly composing music ever since.
