Poetry at the Piano - Book 1, Easy

Martha Sherrill Kelsey follows up her popular Federation-listed Poetry at the Piano for the intermediate pianist with three additional volumes, composed for the advancing younger student.

Critics describe Kelsey's compositional style as "delightful, fresh, imaginative" and "sophisticated to the ear while remaining accessible to the fingers." These newest works are no exception. Filled with captivating images and engaging themes creatively woven into exciting recital repertoire, these collections are sure to become favorites of students and teachers alike.
