Pictures from a Far Country

Photo: At 570 meters above sea level, Interlaken is a well known tourist destination, located between Lake Brienz to the east and Lake Thun to the west. It was a popular destination for British tourists during Victorian times. The name of course, means "Between the Lakes". Surprisingly perhaps, the name Interlaken was coined only in 1891, replacing the old name Aarmuhle.

This is a collection of thirteen elementary piano pieces, around the standard of Associated Board Grade 3.. Click the "Look!" link to see a preview of the music, click the "Listen!" link to download an MP3 audio file of the music and click "Download music" to do just that. By the way, don't try to print out the preview of the music - it is just a small low-quality photo file to give you an idea of the music.

All the piano parts have been converted into high quality Adobe Acrobat files that you can print out. This is a free application and you can download your own copy of the software by clicking here.

NEW! Now you download a full-colour cover page, so that you make a professional-looking album.

    

Just print out all the pieces, with the pages back to back, then print out the cover on A4 photo paper. Click here to download the cover page. It is a high quality pdf file, so it may take a few minutes to download. Take the music pages and the cover to a local printing shop to have a spiral binder fitted (like the one shown above). They are very cheap and help to keep you music flat. If you want, you can get the shop to put a transparant film over the cover to keep it clean. Make sure you have all the pages in the correct order before binding!
