Lazarus Publications
Lazarus Publications is a continuing effort by Penny Lazarus, NCTM, to ensure that piano students of all ages have access to high-quality melodic arrangements of music by under-represented composers. Although many arrangements of classical melodies exist, they are mostly based on music created by white European men. Lazarus Publications was started to give a voice to women and BIPOC composers and make their music available to students in their earliest years of study.
Through her teaching studio, Penny and her 45 students raise money to commission college level composers to write these arrangements. All earnings from the sale of the pieces will be returned to the Women’s and BIPOC Historic Composer Project for the Developing Pianist, so that students can practice diversity, equity and inclusion throughout their musical endeavors.
