This is great! I love pre-staff books. There’s just not enough of them available. And a Piano Recital Showcase one is great! 🙂 Thanks Wendy!
Oh please enter me!
Congratulations! What a fabulous accomplishment.
I would love to have a copy. I do not have many pre-staff supplement books in my library, and this would be perfect for one of my new students.
It’s great to see pre-reading supplementary music. I would love to try the new book!
I’m always looking for pre-reading pieces which sound attractive to modern ears, to supplement the usual folksongs, etc., available in pre-reading books. This book sounds really interesting.
I’m sure the students are going to love these pieces!! Thanks Wendy, for giving us more new pieces to share with our students!
Gee Wendy…another great accomplishment for you! Thanks for always being willing to share your creative ideas and music with us!

Wendy, congratulations on another great accomplishment! This type of book is greatly needed and I definately would like to have one!
I’d love to win this! Will blog and tweet later today!
Hi Wendy: These books have looked good to me and I had considered ordering a copy of each level. Well, now that I know you have pieces in the first book, I’ll definitely be ordering them! Congratulations on having more of your compositions published by Hal Leonard!
Congratulations! I have a studio of young students and I would love to add this book to my collection of materials.
Wendy…Can’t begin to tell you have much I appreciate all the work that you do for your studio…that you are willing to share with the rest of us!
Congratulations Wendy! (Me, me, pick me!)
I’m looking forward to seeing these pieces – the titles sound intriguing!
Thanks for writing music for young students, I’ll definitely be getting a copy for my studio. We definitely need more pre-reading supplementary books out there!
Love it.
Wendy, can’t wait to see these. Thanks. Oh, btw, enter me for the drawing. 🙂
I’m always looking for good pre-staff fun things. Can’t wait to see it!
Congratulations!! How exciting for you, and how lucky we all are to have another resource for pre-staff reading material. Sometimes it’s hard to come by! LOL
I would be thrilled to be entered into the drawing for the complementary copy. Thanks.

Wow that’s cool that you got music published. i look forward to seeing it.
Wendy,
Congratulations!! How exciting for you. I recently purchased a copy of “Twister” and plan to use it at our winter recital. One of your pre-staff pieces would also be terrific.
I recently attended a music workshop with Jennifer Linn, and the Piano Recital Showcase books are beautiful.
I hope I win!!
Wendy– I just checked out Firedance on the publishers website. How exciting for you to have two new pieces in this book! I’m glad to know of another supplementary pre-reading book for students who are not ready for the staff year.
Wendy, I look forward to using your pieces with my students. Thanks!
Would love to have one.
It would be an honour to have your works added to my musical library.
Lois :o)
I have my own music studio with a bunch of eager, interested and motivated students. With this, I would simply love to have a copy. I do not have many pre-staff supplement books in my music studio library, and I am sure that this new book would just be perfect for most of my students in music. Thanks for sharing such accomplishment. Not all music and piano teachers, musicians can possibly do and acquire that. Cheers! Please keep on sharing your ideas on the latest piano teaching tips and resources today.
Wish this book had been published before my spring recital…..it’s so hard to find pre-staff pieces for beginners! Thanks for letting us know about it.
Thanks Wendy! I hope I win. If I don’t I will have to buy the book anyway because I love your music and I always need pre-reading music.
For the other teachers reading this, her Christmas book is just beautiful.

I would love a new pre-reading book and besides, I love your music. Twister is a wonderful piece. Hope I’m lucky.
REbecca
I’m always looking for some motivating material for beginners. This one looks great! Thanks!
Congratulations and thanks for all that you do!
The books looks great, and the titles are soooo cute! I know my little ones would love it!
Please enter me!
Thanks,
Lee
Looks like a great book! I look forward to checking it out!
This is the perfect time of year for a pre-reading book with little ones starting lessons next month. I would love a copy!
It’s great to see pre-reading supplementary music. I would love to try the new book with several new students starting this fall. Thank you!!
Can’t wait for this!
Cool, Wendy. Just noticed your tweet and tweeted about it on my own Twitter. Sorry to see it so late.
Thanks for tweeting about it Mario! I’ll try to get the word out sooner next time! This’ll be your extra entry for tweeting.
Thanks for your kind words, Susan. This’ll be your extra entry for blogging about the book! Thanks.
