Piano Alphabet is an engaging and beautifully illustrated music book designed to introduce young students to the piano keyboard. Each piece in the book is dedicated to a specific note, helping children to identify and understand every key on the piano. Through captivating illustrations and simple compositions, students will not only learn to locate each note on the keyboard but also recognise them in musical scores.

Additionally, Piano Alphabet includes piano accompaniments for each piece, making it suitable for playing with a piano teacher. This allows for interactive learning as teachers and students can play together, four hands on one piano, enhancing the educational experience. Perfect for young beginners, this book combines visual learning with hands-on practice, ensuring that young learners will enjoy playing with their teacher and delight in the colourful illustrations.

Conversation on contemporary dance and underground dance music culture

Elena Alekseeva (interviewer, researcher, composer/producer), Corinna Abela (contemporary dancer from Malta). Filming space: Royal Holloway, University of London, Department of Media.

What is contemporary dance?

In the conversation, we tried to unpack this question and to define where the dance genres/ sub-genres are perceived in different contexts. What is a contemporary dance for you? How do you understand the meaning of 'contemporary'?

Thank you to Dr Ras Mikey Courtney (dancer, the United States of America), Nora Rodrigues (dancer, Mexico) and Ben King (dancer, UK) for the input!

MOVING AWAY EP5 - SIMON WATTS

Music was composed by Elena Alekseeva for 'Moving Away' screen dance video documentary Ep.5, for motiondancecollective.com. 

In episode 5 we meet Tap & Hip Hop dancer, Simon Watts from Auckland, NEW ZEALAND. Moving away in Lisbon, PORTUGAL. 

Moving Away is a short screendance-documentary web-series, created to give an insight into the lives of dancers who perform abroad. Each dancer is given the freedom to improvise in a new city, reacting to the world around them, while we gain further knowledge of their personal experiences of 'moving' away from home through interviews and pictures.
