Storm Chaser · Solo Sheet
A storm is approaching! Storm Chaser is an intermediate solo that captures the thrill of chasing an enormous tornado across your piano keys. In the key of D minor, this rushing piece swirls between a hailstorm of dynamics, articulations, and chords that makes students feel like they are a part of an action movie! These elements provide a challenge but also a great performance opportunity for thrill-seeking pianists!

Clash of the Sabers · Solo Sheet
Clash of the Sabers recreates the drama of a sword fight in this bold solo. The eighth notes in many different positions on the keyboard imitate the quick footwork, and the open fifths in the bass simulate the clash of sabers when the opponents get close to each other. Dynamic contrasts and varied articulations help create the drama necessary to maintain excitement!

Chasing the Wind · Solo Sheet
An energetic solo in D minor, this early intermediate piece requires students to quickly move to different registers of the piano. The melody of the A section is supported by staccato intervals in the left hand. The B section provides contrast with its legato melody, accompaniment consisting of open fifths, and use of syncopated pedal.
