31 Original Solos with Optional Accompaniments

Introduce young students to the timeless charm of William Gillock with The Easiest Gillock Pieces for the Beginning Pianist. This collection features 31 original solos that progress from early to later elementary level, giving developing pianists repertoire that is musical and rewarding from the start. As the "Schubert of children's composers," Gillock's pieces often combine lyrical melodies with playful character. This newly engraved collection also features fun illustrations which highlight several of his lesser-known elementary pieces. Titles like "The Candy Store," "Sailing," and "Sky Castles" help students visualize and be more engaged, and familiar teaching pieces like "Water Lilies" and "Glass Beads" offer a wide variety suitable for lessons, festivals, and recitals. New (optional) accompaniments written by Gillock's protege Glenda Austin enhance the simple melodies and provide wonderful collaborative opportunities.
