Solo Xylophone Adaptions (with Piano Accompaniment)
A collection of adaptations suitable for all skill levels. The easiest pieces are suitable for students in their first week of learning, whereas the most difficult could be performed at university recitals.
Every adaptation includes two scores: the xylophone solo, and the piano accompaniment (with reduced-size xylophone part). Certain works include two piano accompaniments, varying in difficulty.

Hold and Play (Piano One-Hand) - Free
The "Hold and Play" series of adaptations came about because I wanted to be able to play the piano for my baby daughter while holding her.
The series is inspired by Godowsky's one-hand variations on Chopin's etudes, but these pieces are much easier! These piano one-hand adaptations are all free. Simply click on the composer or title to download a PDF version of the music. Scroll down or click here for a list of works.
Aleatoric Sight Reading - Free
The field of Aleatoric Sight Reading is rarely discussed in music pedagogy. It has many benefits, and is completely under-utilised.
While a detailed article explaining this particular method of developing a set of sight-reading exercises will be released in the future, an example set of exercises are provided for reference.
