Repertoire Videos

 

Piano Faculty at the The University of Iowa are working on an ambitious project to record 9000 pieces on youtube.  It will include practically the entire teaching repertoire for beginners and intermediate pianists.  New pieces are added almost daily.  It will be like a music store, a fun place to browse for pieces that strike your fancy.
