Music especially for children and young people

Heather Hammond is a prolific and immensely popular composer. Heather studied piano and clarinet at Leeds College of Music and also plays saxophone & flute. Most of her time nowadays is divided between teaching the piano and writing educational music. There are many books available of Heather’s popular music for young instrumentalists. These include collections for piano, clarinet, saxophone and flute at various grades.

The first books that Heather had published were the six "Cool Piano" books back in 2003.  The pieces were originally written as fun pieces for her pupils to play and Heather never  thought about getting them published whilst she was writing them! Read more >>
