Sep. 10-Sep. 16: Looking Into The Future

Welcome back to weekly listening activities - listen to the following pieces and answer the questions below!

The beginning of the year is a great time to set goals.  I like to think of listening as looking into the future - the music we look up to and admire may be the notes we play in the near future.  Here are a few favourites walking through the RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music) levels.

1) C. Donkin, The Tired Turtle Express (Prep B)

♫♪ I am an experienced piano teacher in the Hills District of Sydney and piano accompanist for music exams held in the Sydney Region. I am also able to tutor up to HSC level of 3-Unit Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. I have passed ABRSM Grade 8 Violin in 2015.
 

2) M. Mrozinski, Turkish Bazaar (Level 2)
