A Concert of Creatures
Available from the Neil A. Kjos Music Company
A Concert of Creatures is a collection of seven imaginative piano solos for intermediate students, each inspired by a poetic collective noun for animals, such as A Bloom of Jellyfish, An Exaltation of Skylarks, and An Embarrassment of Pandas. These pieces invite students to explore the expressive possibilities of the piano while engaging their imaginations through vivid imagery and sound.
The solos support musical growth through accessible patterns, motivic development, and engaging textures that span the full range of the keyboard. Each piece encourages students to read fluently across registers, develop a sense of pacing and color, and play with artistry beyond the notes. Whether used for performance or study, A Concert of Creatures offers piano teachers and students a playful and pedagogically rich addition to their repertoire libraries.
