Towards the end of last year, she released a number of new books of solo piano music suited to adults and teenage intermediate students, around the Grade 4-6 “Piano for Leisure” level (if you’re in Australia).
While her book and download prices are already inexpensive, Jennifer has kindly offered an even better price for readers of topmusic.co. Keep reading for more info!
Cool sheet music for teens
Today I’m going to give you a quick overview of her “Impressions Suite” which has four great works in a contemporary romantic style, and which have worked well for a number of my students. These pieces could easily be used as “own choice” repertoire in ANZCA or AMEB PFL exams or just general repertoire during the year.
To see samples of the music and listen to recordings, check out her online store now.
For just $8.88, you can instantly download the “Impressions Suite” eBook to use with one student. However, if you pay just $22.88, you get an unlimited reproduction licence for life. This means you may copy and print the music in the book as much as you want for your students. Brilliant!
Under this licence, not only can you copy the music, you can scan it and upload to your iPad for reference (still not currently legal under other copyright licences).
I wish more publishers made offers like this!

Easy pop music arrangements that actually sound good!
by Tim Topham
Finding easy pop music arrangements can be tough! There’s been a fair bit of discussion over at the PianoFlix discussion threads regarding how hard it is to find pop music arrangements that are not only playable by beginners, but actually sound like the real versions. This is one of the hardest things about introducing pop music into your ... Easy pop music arrangements that actually sound good!
Finally! Digital sheet music copyright is starting to make sense.
by Tim Topham
In the digital age, music copyright has become harder for owners to control with everyone having access to copiers and scanners, tablets, computers and the internet. A quick Google search for any popular piece of music will bring up at least half a dozen sites from which you can download a free copy or transcription ... Finally!

How to find cool new repertoire for your students
In my recent repertoire searches, I came across HEAPS of “sad piano music”. It seems that many YouTube composers have only one goal in mind: to make listeners cry – not sure why exactly! The first time I was introduced to this was after reading a list of someone’s ‘Top 10’ sad piano pieces (Google ... Why is “sad” piano music so popular on YouTube?

Hi Tim, I am very interested in purchasing the studio license for the Impressions Suite. How can I do this, if I go directly to her side there is no option available for this. Thanks for all the good work and info you are sharing with us. Adrie
Hi Adrie. Look for the option to selected “unlimited reproductions”. This is the same as a studio licence. Let me know if it’s not there and I’ll chat with Jennifer.
Hi Tim, I’ve looked for the suggested option but I can’t find it. I’ve created an account at her side, but no luck. Perhaps I’m not looking at the right place. Will you contact Jennifer or shall I? Thanks Adrie
Hi Adrie. It turns out that you can only get studio licences on individual copies of her music (not on the books/collections) sorry! Here’s what Jennifer says. This has been a recent business change for Piano Pronto. What you can still do, however, if search for the individual pieces in the book. Eg. Falling Leaves has a studio licence option here: https://www.pianopronto.com/shop/falling-leaves-easy-new-age-piano/
