Volume 1, Beginning

These sound files are to give you an idea of the pieces in the anthology. They aren't all perfect, but they're free! The pianist on the Vol. 1 recordings is William Wingfield, except for The Marionettes and Dance of the Gnomes, which were played by Amanda Arrington.. The recording volume level is quite low on these, so earphones are a good idea.

Volume 1 piano accompaniment files for download

These files are provided for free to help in practice (and for fun!) To tweak tempos, I recommend "The Amazing Slow-Downer" (​www.ronimusic.com/) or some similar program. Pianist is Alicia Willard.

Volume 2, Intermediate 1

The pianist on these recordings is Amanda Arrington, staff collaborative pianist at Kansas State University. The volume level should be significantly louder than the Volume 1 recordings!

Amanda Arrington is again the pianist, except for Ethel Barns' Berceuse and Marga Richter's Three Pieces for Violin and Piano.
