**Finalist in the Outstanding Music Education Resource Category for
the 2023 Music & Drama Education Awards** HerStory: The Piano
Collection presents invaluable repertoire by remarkable female
composers across the ages. This important collection is
progressively graded, suitable for intermediate to advanced level
players (approximately Grade 4 to Grade 8) and also features a
piano duet and an ensemble piece for piano, clarinet, viola and
cello. Written and compiled by award-winning author and piano
pedagogue Karen Marshall, each piece is accompanied by a
fascinating 'snapshot' of the 29 composers, providing invaluable
insights into how they lived and composed, alongside quotes from
them or about them. In addition there are suggestions of other
pieces to try, personal observations from Karen Marshall and
pedagogical activities and ideas. "This vibrant collection of
wonderful music from literally every musical period promises to
enrich the musical lives of everyone. Female composers have
suffered shocking neglect over the centuries, but society is now
beginning to make amends. Karen Marshall's extraordinary anthology
brings neglected jewels out of obscurity and into the limelight,
where they will be loved and cherished." Kathryn Page, pianist,
adjudicator, teacher and co-founder of Chetham's International
Piano Summer School 'Marshall's book is much more than a practical
text - it is a library of forgotten treasures that we should bring
back to life on pianos across the world. This is proof that the
uniting force of music can transcend patriarchal barriers and has
the power to inspire the next generation to start a new cycle of
creativity.' Hattie Fisk, Music Teacher Online, 1st May 2022
HerStory is more than the sum of its parts, a singular and
significant achievement, lifting the lid on a terrific range of
superb music that is long-overdue its day in the sun. Not only so,
but Karen Marshall has also done a huge service in further
elevating the music with such a wealth of historical research,
personal detail, and pedagogic insight, all delivered with her
wonderfully personable expertise and infectious enthusiasm. As a
fresh and varied collection of 30 intermediate to advanced pieces,
the book offers rich pickings for concerts, piano clubs, festivals
and examination syllabi alike, and will surely come to be regarded
as a significant sourcebook of musical inspiration. These are
winsome, highly likeable works which audiences will surely warm to,
and which students and players of all ages will undoubtedly find
deeply rewarding to play. Andrew Eales, pianodao.com, March 2022
Over the past few months, I've enjoyed exploring HerStory. It is a
unique collection, and one which should be seen as an iconic
milestone in music publishing. It is rare for me to say it, but I
enjoyed every piece, and it's a collection I shall enjoy playing
from as much as I enjoy teaching. David Barton,
