Love the arrangements in Book 2. Most of my students are not ready for this level yet. However, I have shown a couple older students how to play bits and pieces from the book and they love the sound. We especially like Mashed Potato Clouds. I love to sit and play through this book as well!

From happy and dreamy to rocking out, the Attention Grabbers book 2 is great for recitals! My favorite is Nightingale.

Really great stuff. I wasn't sure when I bought it if my students would like it but they do. In fact, they love it. Super easy to teach and a hit with all the kids. Especially Mashed Potato Clouds and Brainstorm.

This book is a great collection of melodically memorable pattern-based pieces that will suit students of all ages. The music feels fresh, modern, and well thought out from a pedagogical standpoint. My favorites in the collection are Pandora's Box, Brainstorm, and Rooftop Garden. These pieces are guaranteed hits with a wide array of students and will be easily taught to students no matter their preferred learning style. Great work Diane!

This book fits the title...all the pieces will grab your attention! Students love these pieces. They sound so much harder than they are so the students love playing them in recitals. There is a good mix of melodic pieces vs. upbeat/rhythmic pieces in the book. I have used the pieces with very young students and because of the clarity of the score (it looks like how it feels) they can play them successfully rather quickly. My teenage students love the pop sound and catchy melodies. I would highly recommend this book!!
