An exciting new piece is here in time for your fall recitals! This year after my spring recital, I had students begging me to play this new piece that was performed by one of their piano friends! As a result, all of the intermediate students in my studio have now played and agreed that this piece is a “win” for teens and recitals!
Drastic Measures
“Drastic Measures” is a blast for young and old intermediate students and will certainly be a crowd pleaser at this year’s recital! This piece is, well, drastic! And the nervous energy will keep audience members excited and engaged throughout the piece.
Warning!
Yes, the cover design is intentional. Do you know what it’s based on? Pay close attention to the symbol in the middle and give your students an extra challenge of figuring out what the symbol is! Can you guess what the symbol is or how it was created? Just for fun, leave a comment below to see if you are correct! Hint: It’s musical
Details:
Level: Intermediate – eighths, syncopation, LH octaves
Pages: 6 pages, 4 pages of music, cover included!
Style: Pop, contemporary, energetic
Samples:
It’s 3 bass clef signs. How unique! I am guessing the warning is to watch closely the playing of the bass clef notes – jumping around, etc!
Fun piece! The symbol is fun too! Bass clefs!
I love the symbol. It is three Bass clefs swirled together! It looks great and I love the energy of the piece. So fun!
Yes, I saw the bass clefs as soon as you said it was musical. Looks like they’re swirling in a huricane! I just played through this piece. It’s going to take some tricky rhythm work – it’ll be good for them!
That really pops! Love it!
