Despite the rise of post-tonal music鈥攎usic that doesn鈥檛 follow the conventions of tonal music established between 1600 and 1900鈥攖here are relatively few teaching tools for introducing young and beginning piano students to this style of music. One composer of pedagogical post-tonal piano music is Dianne Goolkasian Rahbee. This project examines Rahbee鈥檚 music and what students can gain from practicing and playing it, as well as the importance of female composers. My analysis of Rahbee鈥檚 scores brought attention to a valuable collection of underrated pieces with a distinctive, folk-influenced aesthetic.
