This collection serves as a prequel to the best-selling Bean Bag Zoo Collector’s Series, Books 1 and 2. The 10 original Bean Bag Zoo sheet music solos are included with all-new teacher accompaniments. These pieces, ranging in level from early elementary to late elementary are perfect for discovering or rediscovering the 10 animals that started it all.

Young piano students will easily find an entry point into expressive playing with the animal adventures featured in The Bean Bag Zoo Collector's Series Book 1. Inspired by the imaginative world of beanbag toys, this elementary level volume helps students master musical concepts such as learning to play bouncy staccatos by picturing a leaping frog or a laughing chimp, or attaining floating legatos with the image of a beautiful rainbow fish.

Using visual imagery and tales of Bean Bag animal adventures to achieve musical goals, The Bean Bag Zoo Collector's Series Book 2 takes late elementary piano students on a fun and engaging musical journey. For example, playing with dramatic flair becomes easier when picturing a snarling bull or a scary, but friendly gorilla. Legato playing feels natural when visualizing a magical unicorn or a slithering snake. Seven solos in all-definitely a collector's item!

“Her resolve was absolute. So was her vodka.” I wake up on my seventeenth birthday to receive an out of the ordinary gift - a cryptic letter and a million dollar cheque from my grandfather, whom I had been raised to believe was dead. Fascinated and puzzled on hearing from my long-lost relative, Kamal Chakravarti, in such strange and spectacular fashion, I embark on a journey to find him through his three brothers, the Chakravartis. The Chakravartis are old and wizened, each of them recapping a part of my grandfather's life that takes us back in place and time in vivid detail. Comically bumbling along this terrain of wayward youth with me are my three friends – a poet, a playboy and a peddler – as we collect pieces of information that come together like a magical puzzle, eventually leading me to my grandfather's porch! The NameFake is a humorous narrative on the Indian upper class, friendship and family, love and the loss of it, and the highs and lows of coming of age in the Millennial generation.
