There will be a published schedule of sales on the website for each quarter (July-September & October-December) so that you can plan your purchases in order to maximize your savings. The schedule-type will stay largely the same with minor date changes depending how the calendar/days of the week fall. In general, each month will include:

Week 1: Method Book Sale (varying discount levels)

Week 4: Digital Products Sale (varying discount levels)

As a company, we always value your feedback and will be interested to hear your opinions on this experiment in terms of its value and helpfulness for you and your budgeting.

Good morning! I’m really excited to present this new project by Lisa Donovan Lukas. “Sign of the Times” is a new digital songbook that features twelve intermediate showcase solos based on the signs of the zodiac. Each piece musically represents some of the character traits of each sign and also includes a short text description of these traits. She did such a fantastic job on these and I know you’ll love them as much as I do.

This week only we’re offering a deep discount on the studio license which works out to be just $5 per song! I could totally see this being a fun “small recital” get-together project in your studio where each student “plays their sign.” To further facilitate this idea, I’ve broken out all twelve pieces (hello, how amazing are these covers???) so your students can “buy their sign” if they so choose. Have fun!

NEW RELEASE: First Christmas Pop Solos Songbooks (3 Volumes)

Finding great secular holiday music for beginners beyond the usual traditional favorites (looking at you “Jolly Old St. Nicholas” and “Jingle Bells”!) is especially challenging.
I created this three volume series to satisfy the needs of first and second year beginning level students so they can play all the pop Christmas favorites with a little backup from you (or a capable parent or sibling) in the form of duet accompaniments. All of the student parts can stand-alone and are written in a five-finger, one-note-at-a-time format with no shared keys and no key signatures. Add in the duet part and you have a lot of extra pizazz in the mix making these pieces perfect for holiday recitals and performances.

Hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed creating them!

Volume 1: https://fmsheetmusic.com/first-christmas-pop-solos-volume-1-piano-songbook/

Volume 2: https://fmsheetmusic.com/first-christmas-pop-solos-volume-2-piano-songbook/

Volume 3: https://fmsheetmusic.com/first-christmas-pop-solos-volume-3-piano-songbook/

Has this ever happened to you? New student (usually adults) walk in the door with the goal to play the Moonlight Sonata by their third lesson. Hopefully this little "touch" of moonlight will solve this conundrum so the next time it happens you can say, "sure we can do that!"

A Touch of Moonlight is an ideal “starter” version of the theme from Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” This arrangement by Jennifer Eklund presents the student part at the primer level set in a 5-finger positioning and includes a duet part to complete the soundscape.

SONG OF THE WEEK: Rick Robertson had another stroke of genius and we are featuring it this week with a $7 Studio License Deal. Hurry Scurry! will feel 'familiar' but 'fresh' as it is based on Burgmüller's "Arabesque." It would be really fun to have a student play the two pieces back-to-back in a recital!

Hurry Scurry!, by Rick Robertson is an early intermediate level showcase solo in a fast and flashy style. It is inspired by the beloved Arabesque, op. 100 no. 2 by Friedrich Burgmüller. Its passages lie easily under the hands, and is effective in a variety of tempos. This will serve as a wonderful ...
