The following collection of short pieces was written for Oclef's Late Stage 1 students. During Stage 1, students learn to read and play from notation and to navigate hand stretches, jumps, and finger crossings on the keyboard. As a Stage 1 student's learning becomes more independent, their next goal is to begin playing frequently for fellow students in performance seminars.
The pieces in this collection should be prepared in about 1-2 weeks each of daily practice, although some are simpler and some more complex. For each one, a guide to the most challenging elements of each piece keeps students' practice time focused and organized.
