This package of sheet music for piano features Lullaby For Our Daughters, Admiration, Song For Susan, and Longings.
These four pieces are connected to my wife, two daughters, the love for family and friends who have passed or are still miracles in my life. These pieces are some of my favorites to have written. Out of the thousands I've composed, these four are in my "top ten."

While Mike Garson has achieved recognition in jazz (Mel Tormé, Stan Getz, Stanley Clarke) rock (Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, No Doubt) and classical (L.A. Philharmonic, New World Symphony) circles, he is probably best known for his long-time association with David Bowie spanning four decades, performing on numerous tours beginning in 1972 with the Ziggy Stardust Tour and appearing on 30 albums.
Garson's The Bowie Variations album marked his first piano solo recordings of iconic David Bowie songs. Writing about the album, Bowie himself said it best: “Whatever Mike lends his hand to invariably becomes something magical.”
Volume 1 contains four songs from the album carefully notated and edited as performed:
- Space Oddity
- John, I’m Only Dancing
- Life on Mars?
- Tribute To David

Gershwin Fantasia Containing “Rhapsody in Blue” and 16 other themes by George Gershwin - Sheet Music for Piano (Digital Download)
Regular price
€22,95
/
-5 in stock
This sheet music for piano features Gershwin Fantasia containing “Rhapsody in Blue” and 16 other themes by George Gershwin.
I was 12 years old when I first learned Rhapsody in Blue. It changed my life: it mixed Jazz and Classical styles in a way I hadn’t realized was possible. I loved the melodies, the syncopation and the piano virtuosity. It was a treat to play it at such a young age.
I continued to perform Rhapsody in Blue through the years, over time making it the framework for a medley–adding “Someone to Watch Over Me,” “Fascinating Rhythm,” other songs and improvisation–creating what has come to be known as the Gershwin Fantasia. It’s been a great joy to perform it at hundreds (if not thousands) of concerts, and it’s different every time.
David Abell was a wonderful man who owned a piano store in Hollywood for many years and provided instruments for all the great pianists who passed through town. I jumped at the opportunity to be a part of “A Tribute to David Abell” in 1991 along with a number of my favorite pianists, including Ahmad Jamal, Clare Fischer, Monty Alexander and Lou Levy. The concert was recorded on a Yamaha Disklavier™ piano and this performance has always been special to me.
Although I’ve recorded and released a number of versions over the years this is the first to be transcribed and published. In playing it feel free to edit and add your ideas to make the Fantasia your own.

Mike has a few slots opening up for piano lessons and consultations on music for those interested and serious and he looks forward to the opportunity to work with you next...
Too many people around the world have suffered from piano teachers who haven't been able to inspire and teach the most integral aspects necessary for positive results. Mike Garson has the ability to right those wrongs, inspire each student, and place them on a path of success.
Mike has taught over 12,000 individual piano lessons and enjoys offering private online piano lessons and consultations on music and career now that he's not touring for the time being.
Your 60-minute private lessons with Mike will take place over Zoom direct with Mike from his studio equipped with cameras from various angles to be able to provide a view of his fingers as he guides you through lessons in a way that only he is able to.
As an extra bonus, after each lesson, you'll also receive a video of your lesson for your private use and to assist in your practice plan between lessons.
The regularity of your lessons are based on your goals, budget, and schedule. Many students schedule lessons regularly - often once or twice a month. Others come for a single lesson returning occasionally over the years for a brush-up or inspiration.
Upon receipt of your order, we will reach out to you directly to better understand your experience, goals and schedule in order to align your lesson with Mike's schedule and get you on the path to success...
