More about this title

About the Composer: Helen Marlais

Helen Marlais is a prolific composer and pedagogue whose work has shaped piano education for decades. Her compositions balance accessibility with musical substance, creating pieces that engage students while building genuine technical and interpretive skills. Marlais has been instrumental in developing the "Written for You" series, which draws on her deep understanding of what intermediate pianists need to grow as musicians.

Why we love this

This collection reflects Marlais's gift for writing music that respects the intermediate player's developing musicianship without condescension. The variety of styles and compositional approaches means you'll find something to match nearly any student's taste or technical focus, making it genuinely useful for lesson planning across a diverse studio. The included teaching guide from Yeeseon Kwon adds immediate pedagogical value without requiring separate purchases.

What to expect

A curated tour through different musical moods and technical landscapes. Each piece stands alone with its own character, yet the collection as a whole feels coherent and purposefully arranged, inviting pianists to discover which styles resonate most deeply with them.

Who it's for

Intermediate piano students ready to explore beyond single-piece collections and appreciate stylistic diversity. Teachers building recital programs, audition repertoire, or lesson plans that require reliable, well-crafted pieces at this level.

How to get the most out of it

  • Consult the "Recommended Teaching and Practice Guide" before assigning a piece; it clarifies technical priorities and practice strategies specific to each work.
  • Experiment with tempo variations during practice to build comfort with rubato and expressive control before settling on a final interpretation.
  • Record yourself playing sections you find challenging, then listen back to identify rhythmic or harmonic areas that need refinement.

How to use it

Draw from this book throughout the year as you build each student's recital program, selecting pieces that match their strengths and stretch their abilities in different directions. The variety also makes it ideal for studio recitals where intermediate students perform back-to-back; you can create a program with genuine stylistic contrast.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and performing multiple musical styles and textures
  • Dynamic shaping and phrasing across varied harmonic contexts
  • Hand independence and coordinated passage work
  • Pedal usage appropriate to different compositional styles
  • Interpretation of expressive markings and tempo indications
