I have had great success using the piano music of Enaudi with my teenage pupils of Grade4/5 standard. Has anyone got any other ideas for music that would interest young people of this standard?

Have you looked at music by the following?

Mike Cornick

Christopher Norton

John Kember

and the Spectrum books published by AB

Also Hans Vlam Verwaaijen 'Soft Music Piano Bridge Over the Classics and All That.' (Very lengthy title!) There are 3 books and they're not bad - some easier and some more challenging pieces in them.
Pamela Wedgewood - Jazzin' About and More Jazzin' About. Also Upgrade 4-5.

Would ditto the Wedgewood stuff - makes a nice change from classical
