Piano study doesn’t need to be lonely any more! These ensemble versions of favorite piano pieces from theHal Leonard Student Piano Library will give students the pleasure and inspiration of playing with their friends.
Each selection includes:• A conductor’s score with optionalteacher accompaniment
• Four student parts:Parts I and II for the first pianoParts III and IV for the second piano
Four players at two pianos will be able to give a full and appropriate performance of each piece, yet morecombinations of players and instruments are possible. Students can even add an orchestra!
Here are some ideas:• Use four digital pianos or electronic keyboardsthat allow students to play the suggestedinstrumentation for each part.
• Double, triple, or quadruple the student parts.
• Add the orchestral arrangement available onCD or GM disk .
• Add the optional teacher accompaniment,designed for both rehearsal and performance,by using an additional piano or keyboard.
Full orchestral arrangements, available on CD or GM disk, may be used for both performance and rehearsal:
Track 1, a full performance version, includes the four student parts recorded withsuggested instrumentation plus an instrumental accompaniment that deepens andbroadens the sound of the student ensemble.
Track 2, a rehearsal version, includes the four student parts recorded withsuggested instrumentation and a guiding rhythm track.
If students are using a keyboard that lacks a suggested sound, other voices may be substituted. For example,if an instrument does not have “Glockenspiel,” use any available similar sound, such as “Vibes” or “Marimba.”If “Oboe” is unavailable, use any similar sustaining sound, such as “Flute,” “Clarinet,” or “Strings.”
We hope you and your students will enjoy the challenges and pleasures of playing these exciting ensembles.Strike up the piano band!
