Please don’t ever make me pick a favorite Wendy Stevens collection, but American Portraits would definitely have to be in my top 3. Students love these pieces and they are a pleasure to teach. Perfect recital selections to showcase your intermediate students’ abilities!

I LOVE these. I’d be hard pressed to say which is my favorite, but I’ve already assigned Frontier Chorus to one of my students who loves fast and sassy tunes. We worked through the first page in today’s lesson and she left excited and anxious to get home so she could practice it. That’s what I love to see. You’ve done it again.
