Catherine Rollin has created a bold and lively pirate's dance in this fun-filled solo. The key of A minor sets the proper "pirate mood", and the quick 6/8 meter is perfect for a spirited dance. The running eighth-note melody shows off agile fingers, and the majestic chords in the middle section add an exciting contrast in this A-B-A form.

The two method books have been carefully designed to progress in small manageable steps, beginning with simple fingering patterns and exercises, onto some of the most beautiful melodies and pieces from the baroque, classical and romantic eras, such as the Ode to Joy, Für Elise and the Blue Danube Waltz. Leading the student through a range of exercises, repertoire pieces, theory checks, tips on practicing, playing and technique, and composer biographies, the process of learning is made interesting, informed and fun. The four supplementary volumes present further material to help learning at each stage of the students' development, as well as offering up a wider range of beautiful pieces, for the solo pianist, or piano duet.
