The Circus Act

Instrumentation: Piano 4-Hands

The Polar Express

Concert Suite from "The Polar Express"

Instrumentation: Piano 4-Hands

Level: Advanced (approximately RCM Level 8)

Fireworks piano 4 hands

Fireworks from Harry Potter

Instrumentation: Piano 4-Hands 

Level: Elementary (approximately RCM Level 1)

Rondo capriccioso

Rondo Capriccioso

Instrumentation: Two flutes and piano

Level: Advanced

Description: Originally a solo piano piece, I reimagined it as a trio. The flutes have a great dialogue with the opening melodies in the Andante section and then combine forces in the Rondo. The piano part still has some moments alone where it gets to shine too.

Barcarolle

Barcarolle

Instrumentation: Flute and Piano

Level: Advanced (approximately RCM Level 8)
