Piano, Piano Solo - Level 1 - Digital Download
Dr Darragh Gilleece is an Irish pianist, composer and educator. He teaches piano at Maynooth University and serves as an Examiner for the Royal Irish Academy of Music (RIAM). His PhD focused on Schubert's piano duets and their pedagogical value. Passionate about musical education, Darragh has collaborated with Quietlifemusic on bespoke piano method books, which feature several of his compositions. His works also appear in RIAM's piano albums and on the Universal Music Exams syllabus.
"Composing for young learners is a particular skill that requires a musical approach to what are often technical and performative issues. The pieces in First Steps by Dr Darragh Gilleece certainly deliver this and more. From Book 1's opening bars through Bells of Doom and A Certain Je Ne Sais Quoi, to Book 2's Send out the Clowns, Stride of Pride and the finale, Winter Waltz, the music remains vibrant, interesting and full of humour and musicality." Andrew Higgins, Composer.
