Advanced Supplementary Piano Sheet Music

Teachers return consistently to The Professional Pianist: Solos for Christmas by Dan Coates for holiday programming at the advanced level. Martha Mier's Amazing Grace and other sacred solo arrangements by traditional composers fill recital needs, while Applause!, Book 1 bridges intermediate and early advanced students with accessible concert material. The FJH Classic Scale Book remains a studio staple for scale work across levels.

Recent additions include Rare Recital Treasures, Book 3 by Ingrid Jacobson Clarfield and two works by Agathe Backer Grøndahl: Fantasy Pieces Op. 39 and In the Blue Mountain, Op. 44. William Phemister's Timeless Carols Reimagined offers fresh approaches to holiday programming.

Martha Mier has built an international reputation with educational piano music that balances accessibility and musical substance. Her Jazz, Rags & Blues series and Romantic Impressions series appear regularly in studios and festivals, giving students repertoire that holds their interest while meeting pedagogical goals.

Melody Bober approaches composition with a focus on motivation and student understanding. Her work as a clinician combined with formal training in music education shapes pieces that serve both musical and developmental purposes. A Call to Prayer exemplifies her gift for creating pieces that engage students emotionally while building technique.

Dennis Alexander's prolific output since joining Alfred Music in 1986 reflects decades of classroom experience. With over 400 publications, his music serves students across all levels, and his background teaching piano pedagogy at the University of Montana informs every piece he writes.
