Preparing Students for the Impressionist Style

If you are looking for music that prepares piano students for the music of Debussy and Ravel, you have come to the right place! The following collections have been created to be stepping stones to the first masterworks of Debussy and Ravel and will introduce students to the wonderful impressionist style keyboard techniques and harmonies without overwhelming them.

~ Jennifer Linn

(The beautiful painting (The Sonata) is by the American Impressionist Childe Hassam. The original hangs in the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum in Kansas City, Missouri. A print is also above my desk in my studio in St. Louis, Missouri.)
