Swingin' and Dancin'

All of these solos were written for students of Peter's whilst he was teaching in Karratha. Karratha is in the remote North West of Western Australia, about 1000 miles North of Perth. The town is home to about 10,000 people and does not have a big music culture. As such, he sent some of his students to Perth to further their music education when the time was right. Some of these solos were 'presents' to those that left town. The solos are aimed at students of around Grade 5 standard, are fun to play and enjoyable to audiences.

With Apologies

Students often want to play tunes that they are familiar with. Whilst this may be considered as not always good practice, it's also important to nurture young musicians and keep them interested. These solos have been designed so that whilst the tunes will be familiar, they are not exactly how one might expect. It is important to follow the music carefully and 'Play with your eyes not your ears.' Whilst enjoying the familiarity of the tunes, the arrangements also encourage students to develop wider musicianship skills.
