Review and Giveaway of Kori Buchanan’s Piano Compositions

“Grand.”

“Enjoyable.”

“Really neat piece.”

“I loved it!”

Those are the descriptions and exclamations that I heard from students after one week of them playing Kori Buchanan’s excellent piano compositions! Kori has been a longtime follower of Music Matters Blog and contacted me recently about reviewing some of her piano compositions. I thought it would be cool to put them right to the test by sending them home with my students to play and then let me know what they thought. They loved playing the role of “new music reviewers,” and I was grateful to have some quality pieces for them to try out!

Of the three pieces we reviewed (First Ballet, Royal Procession, and Emerald Reverie), Emerald Reverie was undeniably the favorite. It is an intermediate level piece with a beautiful lyrical style. It’s a quick learn with repetitive patterns and intuitive harmonies. The contrasting B section gives the piece some drama. A lovely selection for a recital or special music at an event.

Kori is actively adding new compositions to her collection, which you can check out at SheetMusicPlus.com – a welcome addition to any pianist’s repertoire! And…the best news – Kori is generously giving away three free copies of her compositions to three Music Matters Blog readers! Just leave a comment below to be entered in the drawing. The three winners will be selected using a random number generator at noon (CST) on Friday, February 22, 2019.
