Through these books students will develop their music skills while exploring new and exciting music ideas. I especially love the duets, which help piano students to collaborate in making music! - Phillipa

Your Piano Needs a Tune is a sparkling collection of fun, accessible and engaging piano pieces composed by Tracy Burjan.

These pieces closely align with the technical and stylistic learning outcomes from the AMEB Piano syllabi, Preliminary – Grade 6, and as such, are a welcome resource which can be used to further develop technical skills, as well as sight reading fluency, and of course build repertoire.

The pieces cover a range of styles, from Blues and Ragtime influenced works to dance inspired jigs and bossa novas. There are duets in each of the grade levels, allowing for the development and enjoyment of ensemble skills. This is hugely valuable, as piano can be a solitary instrument for beginner players.

Each piece has a particular focus, providing opportunities for development in the students’ awareness of, and ease with rhythmic concepts such as syncopation and irregular metres, tonalities other than major and minor, balance between the hands, and also a variety of articulations.
