hi

i was wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions on *fun* music to play over the holidays of a reasonable standard (i play around grade6) i dont have another lesson until after the holidays.

thanks

What about a bit of ragtime - Eubie Blake or even some Joplin?

Hows about getting a whole book of stuff...there's some nice stuff of same composers e.g.
-Wedgewood Blue, After hours (1/2) both by Pam Wedgewood.
-More Romantic Pieces for Piano book 4 (ABRSM publishing)
-Das Piano Buch, Edition Peters
-Maybe books of your favourite bands etc.
-Great Piano Solos, Wise Publications
-Burgmuller 25 Easy and Progressive Studies
-Toll in Moll, Breithopt & Hartel
- Grieg Lyric Pieces and Poetic Tone Pictures

These are just some of the books I have and play from, and from what you've said, I'm about the same standard as you. Hopefully there might be something in that little list to inspire you/give you another idea.
You could PM me if you want any more ideas etc. if you'd like. Hope this has helped a little

Any particular genre?

For relaxing light summer classics you could try:

Satie gymnopodie No 1
Pachelbel canon in d

thanks for that, i might try some of them out!!

For my summer playing, I'm going for Chopin's Fantasie-Impromptu and Clair De Lune. It's so cool!!

People have probably guessed by now, but I Claire de Lune. I'm playing it at school for a competition on Friday week ...
I have thought about tackling some Beethoven Sonatas, namely Moonlight and Pathetique...at least, i think they're the ones...And maybe some CHopin....
Ohhh, the choice

I'm learning Clair de Lune for fun, even though it's way above my standard, so it should be good for my technique

So am I. My piano teacher doesn't know though!

I'm learning Clair de Lune too Currently got to fairly confident note-bashing apart from about 4 bars I need to work on, starting to work on the shaping and stuff now!
Also learning Beethoven C minor sonata (not pathetique one though I played the adagio cantible for that for my recital...) and Chopin Revolutionary study which is loads of fun! And a chopin waltz (C# min? can't remember) and Brahms intermezzo...I have too much stuff on the go but I love it all!

I suppose the suggestions depend on what you like...I always love having a browse around the music shop and get something I like the look of!
