Piano Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.991784 Composed by R A Chappell // Musicarta Publications. Contemporary,New Age. Score. 3 pages. Musicarta #3111325. Published by Musicarta (A0.991784). A charming triad chord study with a repeating broken chord texture and syncopated left hand. The left hand leaps an octave (optionally), and the bass line generally offers lots of opportunity for additional and varied syncopation and melodic 'in-between note' variation.Note: In order to avoid excessive use of ledger lines - much of the treble is around or even below middle C - parts of the treble are in the 'tenor clef' (a treble clef with a small figure 8 beneath it). This music is to be played an octave lower then shown.

Easy Piano - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.918234 Composed by Samantha Hogan. Concert,Contemporary. Score. 4 pages. Coffee Seal Music #6131389. Published by Coffee Seal Music (A0.918234). This short but fun melody is inspired by the vibrant shade of blue of the Caribbean. The chords underneath are simple I IV and V chords that most students would be familiar with, but the syncopated rhythm underneath is what gives it it's flavor or hue. The rhythm does not change, so once the student has it mastered in the left hand, it's time to add the fun, island-inspired melody.Perfect for students learning syncopation and for a cold winter's day when you want to remind yourself of warmer places!For more information or music, please visit www.SamanthaHogan.com

Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.982070 Composed by James Gardner. Contemporary. Score. 10 pages. James Gardner #6074273. Published by James Gardner (A0.982070). As a pianist i was always in love with the enormous beauty and pianistic brilliance of Chopin!  That influence is certainly all over this composition but it's style is a particular blend of classical and jazz approaches.  The range of accent and syncopation in the left hand supports the emotional, syncopated development in the right hand.  Certainly Chopinesque, but definitely contemporary!  

Trombone Duet Trombone - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.591157 Composed by David McKeown. Easter,Folk,Jazz,Ragtime,Traditional. Score. 4 pages. David McKeown #6285003. Published by David McKeown (A0.591157). The Candy Cakewalk is a fun and original duet written by David McKeown for two Trombones. The Candy Cakewalk is one in a series of ten Easter-themed duets each written in a different American dance style. The Cakewalk was popular in the early twentieth century but its origins go back to slave plantations in the nineteenth century where dancers would often compete for a prize of cake. The music was a marriage of European March and African-American syncopation and was a forerunner of Ragtime. The Candy Cakewalk is suitable for players at an intermediate level and above, with the accessible key and range balanced by the fast tempo, some syncopated rhythms and accidentals. The playing-time is around one and a half minutes, but can be lengthened by adding repeats at the performer’s discretion. The Candy Cakewalk is a perfect upbeat addition to any performance program, formal or informal. Click on the link above to hear a full YouTube performance played on the clarinet version of this duet. There are many more top quality arrangements and compositions by David McKeown for you to browse at http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/publishers/david-mckeown/6203

Harpsichord - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.862503 Composed by Michael Bomier. Contemporary,Instructional,Standards. Score. 2 pages. Michael Butkus-Bomier #2032023. Published by Michael Butkus-Bomier (A0.862503). Thirds, seven-note scalar runs, and syncopation characterize this final entry in the series of Modal Inventions. The Locrian mode was not a true church mode. It was given that name by jazz musicians, who wanted a modal designation for each of the seven modes for every major scale. This piece uses cut-time, and a half-note figure as its subject. The countersubject is a scale. Each exposition and its reverse end with a syncopated series of thirds, like the E Major Invention of Bach. These elements mix and match themselves through the piece, which ends on a B7 chord without a 3rd or 5th degree, giving the finale its ambiguous, Locrian sound. All nine inventions make a nice program for the opening of a three-element recital. They also make an excellent introduction into the world of modern music, since the two-part invention format is familiar, and the scalar aspect is also a musical staple throughout the eras, even though the modal derivatives rather than the parent major scales are used.
