The ‘Cool Piano’ series is a collection of fun-to-play pieces in a wide variety of exciting, modern styles. The pieces are lively and attractive, with plenty of variety of style, key and tempo. The melodies are strong and the harmonies adventurous.

Each book contains 12 pieces and the progressive books correspond to Grades 1 – 6 standard. Children and young people will love the funky tunes, which contrast excitingly with more formal exam pieces.

The pieces can be played on either piano or electronic keyboard.

Definitely COOL . . . and with titles such as ‘Spook in My Soup’ and ‘Heaps of Trouble’, will be very popular with the young.
