I’m Mollie and I’ve been playing the piano since 2001.

Since high school, I have enjoyed listening to and discovering music from the vast repertoire of classical music. I have put together recommendations from each time period, sorted by composer. Each piece is a personal favorite.

If you are new to classical music and wondering where to start, I offer a free Music Listening Worksheet when you subscribe to the interest list (at the bottom of this page). It has 6 pieces to pick from, and will help you get more out of your listening experience. The Baroque, Classical, and Romantic summary pages will also give a brief overview of the stylistic periods and the most famous pieces.

I studied music in college and hold a Bachelor’s Degree in music. My favorite classes in college were anything to do with composing or music theory. I am starting a series of articles on music theory, starting with the basics. These articles all have free worksheets to practice the concepts from the articles.

In the past few years I have studied composition on my own, reviewing the concepts I learned in college. I am still in the beginning stages, but I hope to share some of my music with you soon.

Whether you play an instrument, study music, or just listen, there is something for you on my website.
