Greetings...

I'll keep it short. I am teaching a student who has just fractured their right arm and won't be able to play any RH repertoire for the next 4 - 6 weeks. I remember doing a piece out of the AMEB Series 13, Grade 1 book which was just for the LH.

Between moving houses, I seem to have lost my book and am desperately looking for the music for that piece. It was only one page and in a minor (if I recall correctly).

If anyone has it, can they please either PM and send me a copy (will provide e-mail address if need be), or at least tell me the name of the piece, if they know it.

THANK YOU!!!

i think i saw a used copy of a book w/ key word search on eBay yesterday for something like au 12 and change or so. do you know exact name or isbn of the book, you might be able to get a used copy , i also saw a hit that the NLA seems to have this or part of it, are you able to access/request the volume or initiate an inter-library loan of some type?

Thanks visitor... I'll check it out. Not sure of the ISBN. The book was out in the mid 90's, so it might be a wild goose chase.

Thanks Alkan... I had looked through a list of IMSLP LH pieces, but this kid is doing Grade 1 or 2 pieces, and most of them are at least Grade 5. Hard to find really easy pieces just for someone to learn over a few weeks.

Maybe something on this website will be of help

Sheet Music Plus has this book by Melody Bober- haven't seen it, but she does a good job
