This Color Music Bundle features three beautiful and sophisticated piano solos that any mature piano student will love to play. Pre-teens, teens, and adults will especially love the mature and nuanced sound. These pieces are easy to learn and teach as they use patterns that are easy to find in the black keys. Each piece is part of our Sophisticated Rote and Reading Music Series and can be taught by rote, reading, or a combination of both (which we encourage).

Color Music Bundle Bonus:
This Color Music Bundle comes with a bonus mp3 recording performed by Wendy Stevens. These recordings help the student both remember the rhythm and idea of the piece, but also help sharpen their ear during the week. You are permitted to send these example performance tracks to your students to help them learn any of the pieces in the Color Music Bundle.
What is the Studio License?
This Color Music Bundle is delivered digitally (through your email receipt) and is studio licensed. This means that you can print and use these pieces for any student that you directly teach for your entire lifetime of teaching.

These may have been written with older beginners in mind but oh my , I’m getting such good results with my younger students ! They feel very grown up! They love the sounds and it looks like they are going to feature heavily in my upcoming concert! (Along with A Distant Blue)!
They are a hit!

Today I a student Marigold and last week Emerald. She’s so thrilled to learn something so quickly that looks complicated on the page and sounds sophisticated. Her mom even sent me a note saying how beautiful it was and what an amazing teacher I was that she could learn a whole song in one lesson!

I really like these “color” pieces. The titles just give you something to grab onto as soon as you hear it. I’m so glad you have written lots of music for the mature student who wants to “sound good,” not child-like. It’s a niche that has needed attention for a long time!

I have a young adult student who is completely thrilled with Dusty Blue and Emerald. These pieces were exactly what she needed right now. She even took her keyboard with her on a long weekend trip so she could practice and play for her family.

These color pieces truly have a sophisticated sound with simple changes. I love watching my students’ eyes light up when I model it–they can’t believe that they can play something that sounds that hard, and then we dive in, and they are so proud of themselves! The color pieces are real confidence boosters!

I purchased the Color bundle and let my teen girls choose which one they wanted to work on. Two chose Emerald and one chose Marigold. (One more student will be choosing on Thursday) They are enjoying them! The pieces have been a fun, beautiful way to get back into lessons. I would give this bundle 5 stars and highly recommend the pieces to middle school girls!

I think it is amazing you can compose pieces that sound gorgeous and are fairly easy, in terms of notes. These Finding Beautiful Places, Entering Beautiful Places, and Color Rote and Reading® pieces are haunting, touching, comforting and beautiful!
Obviously the most difficult thing in these pieces is playing softly and with expression, but you have given us the wonderful blueprint of the melody and harmony!

Marigold, Dusty Blue and Emerald are amazing. Very pretty and mature sounding pieces.

This bundle has exceeded my expectations by far. This completely honest review is for teachers like me who had students who started to lose motivation towards reading notation and wanted to feel that they are playing pieces that sounded nice, looks difficult to play and great to help them discover patterns on the piano! I am very impressed by them.

The terrific Color Music Bundle 1 is a joy to use in the studio. The music is beautiful. Students of all ages love the ease of learning combined with big, beautiful, sophisticated sound. I especially like using these pieces for early beginners and for more advanced students who just need a little snack of delicious music while working on more complex assignments. They will be a key component of my workshops for adults. I highly recommend Dusty Blue, Emerald and Marigold.

I wish I hadn’t waited so long to purchase these pieces. Even though I just taught them yesterday for the first time, they were an instant success! So far, my students have preferred Dusty Blue as a favorite, but I love all 3 of these pieces. The expression is almost “written in” to the piece itself, so it’s not hard for students to achieve a good sound almost from the first try. These will definitely have a place on my spring recital programs. Thank you, ComposeCreate!

I have had several teen beginners start in the last couple of months. They are loving these pieces. They are simple but sound great. A couple are going to participate in our spring recital and play them.

My students enjoy the pieces that I’ve bought from Compose Create. I especially appreciate the studio license. My older beginning students love the sophisticated pieces that are doable from the start. Thank you for your creativity.
