Enchanted Forest - Piano Teaching Pieces

Though I met Phil at a very young age, it was not until 2016 that I had the opportunity to work closely with him and get to know him well. During this time, he shared the beginning stages of this project, and showed me his vision for the finished product. I was so inspired by his idea, and we decided to collaborate on the remaining pieces to the puzzle.

Over the next few months, I wrote five of the works included here. The final piece I wrote, titled “Path of the Wisps” or "Path of Shining Lights" is a tribute to Phil, and to the way he has guided so many young people in their pursuit of musical dreams. Not only has he nurtured some incredible talent, but he has always met his students with a smiling face and brought so much joy into their lives. This song is specially dedicated to Phil to symbolize the unique impact he has had on so many.
