Circus Sonatina

  2. The Flying Trapeze (for the very brave…)
  3. Black Bear Boogie

Big-Top Sonatina

  1. Clown Capers
  2. Those Amazing Elephants!
  3. Ferocious Lions (jump through the flames…)

A note from the composer:

“The sonatina form is explored via the imagery of the circus. It is my hope that this will allow students to use their imagination in expressing the contrasting musical themes that occur in the sonatina. All this can be vividly related to the characters and activity in the circus ring. Metronome markings are primarily suggestions and should not hinder young pianists in their interpretation and exploration of the piano’s many sounds and colors.”

Chee-Hwa Tan has a passion for nurturing the art and love of music making in pianists of all ages and levels. Her compositions encourage students to explore and express sound images at the piano while developing specific technical skills necessary for artistic playing.
