Purpose
The purpose of these serie of books is to give beginning musicians more opportunities for playing together. Beginning piano players usually have few chances for being in an ensemble. This is unfortunate, for playing together is such fun, almost like playing in a pop band. I hope this book will contribute to the formation of many trio ensembles with all kind of mixes of young and adult players, so that they can experience the joy of performing together. In the near future I hope to add to this collection of trios. Please email me to tell me about your experiences with this book, and maybe order a follow-up collection.

Level
These trios should be playable for any student with between a few years of playing experience.

Ambition
My ambition was to write music that is neither difficult to memorize nor hard to perform. But my main aim was to create pieces that are
attractive to play, expressed in a modern musical language and with a clear musical line. An old Dutch expression applies to this music:
“Een kind kan de was doen” (“a child can do the laundry”), or, it is child’s play. Indeed, these pieces are intended for everyone with a
playful spirit, including parents who would like to perform together with their children. When you play together, you really have to listen to your musical friends … and to yourself. Trio music is a three-part unity, all voices speaking to and through each other, at the same time creating a whole and making you feel connected.

Permission
The books contains the music for all three of the voices, but it is convenient to have separate sheets for the violin and cello voices available. These can be downloaded and printed from my website: www.heleenverleur.org. As a rightful owner of the book, I herewith grant you permission for printing this copyrighted material.
