Piano Discoveries is a totally new and exciting way to explore senior piano repertoire. We have collected some of the “Greatest Hits” of classical piano repertoire and with each piece have created an opportunity for you to discover more about the music. This website is designed to help you to explore composers, music history and classic repertoire through guided activities and creative projects. Everything you need is at the click of your mouse.
Music transcends time and we think that all of the composers in this collection would be pleased to see three hundred years of music at your fingertips on the computer and piano keyboard!
We hope you make the most out of your Piano Discoveries this year!
