Now the sylabus has changed Ive gotta buy all new books...
very few pieces cross over, anyone have advice on which pieces to look at before i have to buy the books??


Must say i love the idea of the Tango and also playing Gerswin but these books dont come in for higher grades....

Rhapsody in Blue for grade 4...how cool!!!!!!!

List A - the Vivaldi Cantabile is nice, as is Purcell's air.

List B - James Rae - Waltz for Emily is good, Gerswhin, Andy Scott.

List C - Puddle Jump!! It's fab!

thanks Nat...
Ill have alook at them

hey your signature seems very dark, cheer up girl

we all love yer

But if you've got grade 4 in mind then different pieces might be better!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Saxophonist...huh? dont like this piece then???Not one of your favs?


Nat, just bought all the pieces you suggested so i will let you know....
apparently though i have a problkem with timing which i have to cure now before i go any further, so im going to go backwards a bit to go forwards.

ive not really been keeping time up till now and been winging it a bit...
been playing the entertainer by scott Joslin and thats lovely though!!!

of course i want to try for grade 4 too, but grade 3 first i think...hopefully early next year depending if i crack this timing thing...

any suggestions for keeping time???????????

I rather suspect Saxophonist is just expressing his jealousy that Nat has lessons with Andy Scott

Oops I hope you like them! I hate people spending money on things I've recommended in case they don't like them!

oh dont worry...Ill only go without food for a few days to pay for them....


Im sure they will be used more than once and i was going to buy the Gershwin stuff anyway cos it sounds great.

You...........................and Andy Scott????????????????????????

Learning from a pro???????????????????????

you lucky lucky moo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hope your enjoying
