Two Price Pieces - Level 1

A digital product featuring “Criss Cross” and “On Higher Ground”, two teaching pieces by Florence Price
A 30-day, done-for-you practice plan to help you learn two joyful and expressive beginner-level pieces by one of America’s most important composers. 

Learn from one of the greats—starting right where you are.
Florence Price (1887–1953) was the first African-American woman composer to have her work performed by a major U.S. orchestra. While best known for her symphonic and choral writing, she also composed beautiful piano works for her students—including these two beginner-friendly gems.

These pieces are short and approachable, but more musically engaging than most early-level repertoire. They offer both solid technical development and a refreshing change of sound.
