LEVEL IT UP Library! 

"This is a fantastic series! Keep it going." -- ​Keith Snell, world-renowned editor/composer for Neil A. Kjos Music Company
**LEVEL IT UP! is featured this season in workshops for Utah Music Teachers Association, Anchorage (Alaska) Keyboard Teachers Association, Montgomery County (MD) Music Teachers Association, Richmond (VA) Music Teachers Association, and Springfield (VA) Music Club, a club in NFMC.**
You can browse all the composers here -- in one place -- for all 21 Level It Up Sessions that have taken place already, and you can register for them here!  

What is Level It Up?  It is a series of 21 (and counting!) workshops focusing on a different composer in each  (or pedagogical issue, in some of them!):
  • Each session is designed to provide a smooth progression of solo piano works from the easiest pieces of each composer up to the most advanced. 
  • Special emphasis will be placed on ''the best first'' for specific types of pieces for each of the composers.
  • Leveling pieces can feel like a subjective, arbitrary process; this series will discuss key factors to consider in leveling up, such as compositional structure, specific technical demands, etc.
  • Mixing levels: Students benefit the most from working on "negotiable" repertoire they can conquer in a month or two along with "stretch" pieces that will take longer. Ideas for mixing these levels will be shared!
  • You'll receive a PDF for each session that is a repertoire leveling guide for that composer, including the key factors in leveling.
