Les Petites Images is a perfect introduction to Jennifer Linn's popular intermediate-level book in French style, Les Petites Impressions. Like that book, the seven solos in this easier collection in impressionist style evoke detailed images of the titles. Students will have fun with "Asteroids" or "The Mad Hornet's" pungent characterizations, and they will enjoy the relaxing sounds of "End of Winter" or "Sailboats in the Wind." Although these solos are early-intermediate level, some are well within the reach of eager late-elementary students as well. There are quite a few "easy-sounds-hard" gems in this book that will make those younger students sound very accomplished. To familiarize students with notation found in Debussy and Ravel, titles have been written in French with English subtitles: expressive instructions are in French as well, and a glossary is provided in the introductory pages.
