Two music professors had this to say about "Roots: The Solo Piano Songbook":
"I believe that I have found quite a remarkable collection of piano pieces for late intermediate or advanced students. Laurie's music has the pianistic touches of Chopin, the ornaments of Baroque, the sophistication and the grace of classical piano music; yet her structures and harmonies follow the verse-chorus structures of Elton John's music and the type of contemporary piano music many students love to play."
~Penka Kouneva, Professor of Music
"A masterpiece which will fill a void in the piano literature. The presentation is marvelous with each verbal description and a clear copy to read."
