Lera Auerbach - Images from Childhood [Complete]

These are fantastic pieces for late-intermediate students who are ambitious to try modern elements in music. The USA re-distributor of the score writes that these are pieces for beginners, but that obviously isn't true...these are for late-intermediate levels at best, as even the easiest-sounding pieces require a lot of musical maturity to pull off!

I am a former professional pianist, educator, collaborator, and composer forced into early retirement due to a genetic heart condition which has finally caught up to me!

Now I spend my time researching and recording modern classical piano music that hasn't yet been recorded, and I also enjoy making the best out of "easier" pieces from the canon. I will present showy pieces as my health allows, but my current health and endurance typically limits me to early-advanced literature.

I record for YouTube simply as an excuse to keep learning music until it's polished and presentable, and if people want to listen and watch, then that is icing on the cake! Outside of YouTube, I teach intermediate/advanced adult hobbyists at the piano.
