Childhood Excursions: Are We There Yet?!
Amy Stephens
Categories: Collections/Books, Jazz, Pop, Blues, and Rock
Level: Intermediate/Late Intermediate (Gr 5-7), Early Advanced/Advanced (Gr 8 - 9)
When Amy was a child growing up in Detroit, Canada was just 30 minutes away! In this suite, Amy takes the performer through her most-treasured childhood memories in Ontario, exploring places like the Algoma Railway to Sault Ste Marie, performances at Stratford, the waterfalls at Niagra-on-the Lake, the monarchs at Point Pelee, and harvest time in Chatham. The suite teaches arm and wrist fluidity, with each piece focusing on a different aspect of using elbow and wrist movements at the piano: drop-lift slurs, wrist rotation, wrist circles, side-to-side and in-and-out motions. Amy combines classical form with jazz language and sensibilities in these very fun pieces.

Amy Stephens
Categories: Collections/Books, Jazz, Pop, Blues, and Rock
Level: Intermediate/Late Intermediate (Gr 5-7), Early Advanced/Advanced (Gr 8 - 9)
Five super-fun pieces in various Latin-jazz and jazz styles depicting sites at the beach: skipping rocks, hang gliding, exploring tide pools, surfing, and watching dolphin pods swim. Each piece has an accompanying song construction activity page to help students understand the compositional devices behind the music and gives students the opportunity to compose their own ideas. This book also helps students understand chromatic, whole tone, lydian, and blues scales, as well as complex intervals like 9ths and 10ths. Most of all, these rhythms feel really fun under the fingers!
