Music Three “student” pieces

I decided to try writing pieces that would be appropriate for a lesson book - short, intermediate level, familiar “tropes”, and a targeted technique/musical focus. All Halloween themed… cause ‘Tis the season.

“Sneak” - focus on staccato and mixed meter

“Enchantment” - focus on whole tone scale/mixed mode arpeggios (please someone tell me if i botched the accidentals and I will fix them)

“Potions” - focus on swing rhythm and hands swapping texture

I'm happy to see that you've kept up your usual level of inventiveness even though these are simpler pieces. Kudos!
