BUGGEDY BUGLETS, EARLY ELEMENTARY

The composer doesn’t know what inspired her to write a collection of beginner solos about insects, but she grew much fonder of the creepy little creatures after “trying to put myself in the bug’s position.” These early elementary solos provide students the opportunity to play straight through with fluency since they have precious little hands-together playing. The optional duet accompaniments give additional life and color to the works, helpful for recitals and other public performances. The works are in Middle C position and hand positions nearby and are useful while studying in most contemporary method series.
