  • Auditions to Music Schools

    Auditions to music schools are required for new students. Also required are letters of recommendation. Second chance auditions are offered in some cases after the first audition doesn't measure up. I know because it happened to me. The second audition on a different instrument resulted in my acceptance. Thanks for listening.

  • Standard Scale Patterns and Fingering for Keyboards

    The FJH Classic Scale Book contains chromatic, pentatonic and whole-tone scales with a guide to fingerings. It provides essential materials for preparing students for auditions, contests and other events, as well as for building a basic pianistic vocabulary used in performing, sight reading, and improvising at the piano. I hope this information is useful for students learning to play piano or electronic keyboard. Thank you for listening.

It's up to you. Thanks for listening.
