Ready to Be a Rock Star, Multi Level Piano Ensemble
Do your students want to be a Rock Star?
Give them the chance to feel cool while learning important piano concepts. This fun piece will get students of all ages excited about playing and counting.
Works well for Groups:
This Multi Level Ensemble takes students from the beginning (Warm Up Level with basic whole notes) to the coolest solo on the Rock Star Level 5! Teaching every skill the student needs to know, 1 level at a time.
Don’t worry, each Level is satisfying on it’s own, so students won’t feel left out as they begin the journey. Especially, when they play along with the cool Backing Track.
