Breathe

I tried something new to me with this piece: I recorded the music with video and sound effects that I thought might help students absorb the calm, relaxed mood before they learn it.

An intermediate solo with a nod to minimalism, this little piece is built on a bass line that descends by half steps for one octave with a repeating pattern riding on top of it. Syncopated pedaling is required. Pianists will want to work on keeping the repeated thumb notes very quiet.
