POPULAR SELLING BOOK FROM NMP! Vignettes for Solo Piano is a collection of 21 short intermediate to late intermediate interval studies composed to reinforce recognition of intervals ranging from a second to an octave. An interval may be introduced in a tonal/modal setting followed by a chromatic one. As the pianist progresses through the book, the studies will combine odd intervals together and even intervals together as well. The book concludes with several solos combining all intervals featured.

The vignettes may be of interest to those who have trouble distinguishing intervals visually or are interested in the sounds of jazz as numerous vignettes require swing rhythm and syncopation. Teachers should appreciate detailed fingering and pedaling that will guide the performer throughout the 47 pages. The book is bound with a plastic coil binding so that the book lays open flat on the piano.

Noteworthy Elementary Solos will provide for the young performer a variety of expectations as they work through the collection . Shifting hand placements by octave, hand crossing, tempo changes within a solo, and moving from key signatures implied with accidentals to those with key signatures await the reader. Solos are primarily in C major with one in D minor and two in D Major. For the performer experienced in five finger position works without much hand movement, the collection will stretch them outside their comfort zone as they progress through the book. Titles include, Little Cat, Lost Quarter Blues, Hello Sunshine, Missy Moo, The Wind-Up Cow, Oops! Hit a Bump, Stargazing, My Day, Jiggity Jig, Big Dog Luke and A New Little Minuet. The minuet in D Major concludes the book and while on the surface may appear fairly simple, the piece contains a variety of melodic movement between the two hands including contrary, oblique and parallel motion among the voices. Sometimes the motion between voices are by step in one hand and a leap in the the other to further challenge the performer's reading skills.
