All of these are from the Kay Pech Library: music that she arranged, composed, and gathered over her many decades of teaching.
The COMPRESSED version of each piece of music is both smaller in file size and has less resolution (if you zoom in for any reason). However, tiny things like the dots on dotted quarter notes, for instance, are still clearly visible.
If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions about this music, please email us at tehanu.arts@gmail.com.
