LEVEL IT UP!
LEVEL IT UP! is a series of 6 workshops focusing on a different composer in each:
  • Each workshop 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 following each workshop that is a repertoire leveling guide for that composer, including the key factors in leveling.
