10 Études Carlinesques

 "This is an altogether welcome little set of contemporary studies for the Grades 4-5 student. From a technical and musical perspective they serve their purpose well offering the player the opportunity to study arpeggios, bar chords, intervals, awkward rhythms, ornaments, position moves and slurs, all contained in well-written and appealing compositions. With a plentiful dynamics to shape the music and excellent fingering suggestions this collection would be well worth teachers considering using with students. Perhaps Mr. Carlin is being a little pretentious in writing a set of pieces which incorporates his own name in the overall title but perhaps when they are as well written as these then I suppose you can overstep the mark by a little."
