Heather Hammond: Cool Piano - Book 2

Heather Hammond's Cool Piano series is lively and attractive, with plenty of variety of style, key and tempo. The melodies are strong and the harmonies adventurous. Each book has 12 pieces and the progressive books correspond to grades 1-6 standard. Children and young people will love the funky tunes, which contrast excitingly with more formal exam pieces.
