Barbara Arens #1069088. Published by Barbara Arens (A0.1492414). As a former wildly enthusiastic player of the flute, I really enjoy writing for an instrument I understand so well. This first collection of pieces for Flute Piano starts with a handful of fun jazzy pieces; has three Scottish-inspired pieces; a number of dances: Tango, Rumba, Waltz, Samba, Boogie (duet!); and various expressive atmospheric pieces: Lonely Lament, Golden Reflections... I believe this collection will appeal to flute students of all ages.

Barbara Arens #999451. Published by Barbara Arens (A0.1417909). Inspired by my youngest piano pupils, I've had a marvellous time writing imaginative little animal-themed pieces they can have fun with. I especially had a great time thinking up the titles: An Ant-eater dancing a Jig; 2 Pigs discussing Lunch; A Snake dreaming of Belly Dancing; 2 Badgers taking a Midnight Walk; Centipede considering Tickling Someone; A Cat totally ignoring You........ various styles have been used - several jazzy pieces, with swung quavers/8ths, but lots of descriptive pieces for small hands. For Initial - Grade 3 / Early Elementary-Late Elementary.

Thinking of what I would have liked to have played (besides Telemann and Loeillet) as an Intermediate flute player, I've put a collection together beginning with some rather fun jazzy pieces ('A Cat totally ignoring You'; Baker Street Blues, etc); lots of gripping rhythmic pieces: two tangos, Cha-Cha-Charing-Cross Road, SevenEight; and lots of pieces with literary inspiration by Shakespeare, Malory, R.L.Stevenson, Tolkein, Christina Rosetti... expressive and dramatic. I believe this collection will appeal to intermediate flute students of all ages.

Barbara Arens #1021036. Published by Barbara Arens (A0.1441057). As a former harpsichordist, I know that it's difficult finding contemporary pieces that are expressive, lyrical, enjoyable, or even fun to play! I've adapted 33 of my late elementary to late intermediate piano pieces for this collection. There are no less than 6 pieces with jazzy swung rhythms - I find jazz is delightful on the harpsichord! Other pieces are atmospheric arrangements of Scottish traditional tunes; there are pieces based on Shakespeare characters and scenes from Arthurian legends to engage the imagination of the player and the audience, a racy Tango ... and several pieces from 'The Mermaid Challenge' which are also in the new RCM Celebration Series.

Barbara Arens #1018198. Published by Barbara Arens (A0.1438096). As a former harpsichordist, I know that it's difficult finding contemporary pieces that are expressive, lyrical, enjoyable, or even fun to play! The first 8 pieces here are movements from a Suite in baroque form - but with a difference! A Gavotte merges into a jolly Rumba; the Allemande has a Tango feeling... the pieces lie well under the harpsichordist's fingers and exploit the beauties of the instrument. The 12 further pieces are adaptations from the composer's piano works - they are a joy to play on the harpsichord!

Score. 34 pages. Barbara Arens #1033353. Published by Barbara Arens (A0.1454224). As a former harpsichordist, it occurred to me that some new harpsichord repertoiremight be welcome; thus I wrote the ‘Suite Update’ using the actual movements of abaroque suite. But I gave each movement a new twist, adding a whiff of Tango to the Allemande,giving the Gavotte some Rumba rhythm, etc. and altogether - I had a great time!But as my harpsichord is in dreadful condition, having been neglected for decades, I actually wrote this harpsichord work at the piano. And I have to admit that I LIKE it on the piano!!So here is the fully pianistic version, as opposed to the harpsichord version.To round off this book, I took four pieces from my two collections using the titles of Magritte’s surreal paintings to make a further 4-movement work, the ‘Suite Magritte’.

I've been hearing from music-teacher colleagues from all over the world that there is a real need for fun, contemporary, and readily playable literature for students who want to start playing chamber music. As I know from my own students, the beautifully written pieces by Julius Klengel are simply too difficult. So this is what I've come up with - 18 extremely varied pieces for Early intermediate/Intermediate Grade 2-4 music students. The strings have some pieces where glissandi, extended pizzicato, seagull effect, and percussion (!) are required; the piano accompaniments are kept as simple as possible, but should be quite a lot of fun! The string parts have been vetted by violin and cello teachers who have added bowing suggestions.Comments, explanations & texts are in English and GermanPlease note: these are all 3 parts: Piano Score, Violin & Cello Parts8 of the pieces can be heard on Youtube.

Barbara Arens #999459. Published by Barbara Arens (A0.1417915). Ich liebe es, für meine Klavierschüler Stücke zu schreiben, die sie begeistern, die sie ermutigen, ausdrucksvoll zu spielen, und die ihnen so viel Spaß machen, dass sie ÜBEN WOLLEN! Genau dafür sind diese 19 Stücke mit Tiermotiven gedacht! Inspiriert von meinen jüngsten Klavierschülern hatte ich viel Spaß beim Schreiben von diesen fantasievollen kleinen Stücken, die unsere Klavierstunden auf sinnvollerweise noch lustiger machen. Es hat mir besonders viel Freude gemacht, mir die Titel auszudenken: 2 Schweine diskutieren über ihr Mittagessen; Eine Schlangeträumt vom Bauchtanzen; 2 Dachse machen einen Mitternachts-Spaziergang; Ein Ameisenbär macht einen Freudentanz; Ein Tausendfüßler überlegt jemanden zu kitzeln; Eine Katze, die dich völlig ignoriert........ Es wurden verschiedene Stile verwendet - einige jazzige Stücke, mit geswungenen Achtelnoten, aber auch viele anschauliche Stücke für kleine Hände. Für die frühe Elementarstufe - späte Elementarstufe Alle Stücke sind in Youtube zu hören unter '2 Cool Mice'.

As a former very keen flute player (I loved playing in the Singapore Youth Symphony Orchestra, and studied flute for several years at the Mozarteum in Salzburg before concentrating on keyboard instruments) I enjoy writing for the Flute. This collection starts off with 8 pieces using titles of René Magritte's surrealist paintings. The titles, which I found really inspiring, were thought up by Magritte's friend, the surrealist poet Louis Scutenaire: La sens de la nuit; La clef des songes; Les signes du soir, etc. There are 3 pieces inspired by Shakespeare characters: Juliet; Hotspur; Beatrice & Benedick; a few jazzy pieces : London Bridge Rag; We gotta Boogie; My favourite Time of day; and some VERY exciting encore pieces: Tango at 2 a.m., Folies d'Espagne, Rondo alla Tarantella...

In 2013, I was so fortunate as to be able to publish my ‘One Hand Piano’ with Breitkopf & Härtel.This book has proven so popular that Breitkopf has since published my ‘One Hand Piano 2’.You can tell: I really enjoy the challenge of writing for the left or right hand alone!Now I have been requested to publish a further little collection of pieces for Piano One Hand at a slightly easierlevel than the Breitkopf & Härtel books.These are likewise not only for piano students with a broken arm, they are for music-lovers of all ageswho were possibly born with the use only one hand, or who have had a stroke or other injury temporarily orpermanently forcing them to play with one hand only. FORTUNATELY you can play a lot of great music andhave a lot of fun with just one hand on the piano!
