The weekend competition today features two books by American composer Glenda Austin. They come from the Composer’s Choice series, published by The Willis Music Company. Glenda is in demand as a composer and teacher, and she frequently presents workshops for conventions and teaching organizations all around the world; her music has been published and recorded in the US and Japan.
There is much to enjoy in both volumes of piano music, each containing 8 original compositions; the first is intended for Mid to Late Elementary (Grades 2-4), and the second, for Early to Mid-Intermediate (Grades 5-6). The books include performance notes written by the composer, and they contain a variety of Contemporary styles, which will appeal to a wide range of students.
As usual, just leave your comment in the comment box at the end of this post, and I will pick two winners on Sunday evening (British time). Good luck!

They sound like interesting books!
I so enjoyed Glenda’s Christamas jazz videos over Christmas – they were witty and fun. She is a superb jazz player and I’d really love to see her books.
Look forward to be a winer
