New Music – “Drastic Measures”

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.

  1. 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!

  2. 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!
