This collection of 39 rounds and canons features a range of material from the oldest-known round; "Sumer Is Icumen In" to the famous Pachelbel Canon, as well as six original canons by Gail Smith. The short canons composed by Konrad Kunz are ideal for sight reading. There is one in every major and minor key in a 5- finger position. For the more advanced pianist there are amazing canonic piano solos by Bach, Schumann and Clementi. The right hand melody becomes the left hand melody in a very magical way melting into the most beautiful harmony imaginable. There's a canon to go "around" for pianists with any amount of experience!

These musical sketches were written to provide a variety of styles that are fun to play and yet sound harder than they are. Each solo represents a familiar animal that walks slow, jumps or runs fast. This will stimulate the students imagination helping them play and interpret each piece easily. This collection of 16 new piano solos will introduce piano students to a variety of musical styles. These pieces were composed with love for all my piano students and the hope that students everywhere will enjoy playing them as much as I have enjoyed composing them.
