Longbow Publishing is the proud Canadian distributor of their original Pattern Play books, as well as Creativity Beyond Compare, available on our website or through a retailer near you!

In 2009 they released  Pattern Play Harmony, Vol. 1 and in 2010 a series of Pattern Play books through Frederick Harris publications, expanding their ideas into more books.

Unlike jazz-focused books, Pattern Play Harmony, Vol. 1 discusses a wide variety of styles, creating your own arrangements, left hand patterns, 'colour' tones, and much more in this comprehensive 144 page book. Keyboard harmony students or those doing written harmony, Classically trained or popular music students can all benefit from this book.
