Buy "Beggin"

Early Intermediate level equal parts duet arrangement of the 2021 Måneskin cover of "Beggin."

PRIMO melody starts simply and fills in chords as the song progresses. Lovely arpeggiated bridge section provides contrast to the driving rock beat.

SECONDO has rhythmic groove, with clear articulation, throughout the song.

DUET "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto

Buy "We Don't Talk About Bruno"

Early Intermediate level 4 Hand, 1 Piano arrangement of Lin-Manuel Miranda's hit song from the Disney movie Encanto.

PRIMO has melody written with syncopation (let them lean on their ear if reading the tied notes overwhelms them) and joins in accompaniment chords.

SECONDO has a modified bass line which keeps the Latin flavor WITHOUT syncopation; in verse two, it has the echoing, male vocal.

DUET "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey

Buy "Don't Stop Believing"

Journey's rock classic made famous by the TV series "Glee" and Broadway's "Rock of Ages." Arranged as uneven part duet.

PRIMO is late elementary, perfect for student late in their first year of lessons; RH only in 5 finger C.position (one "A" requires the 2nd hand).

SECONDO is at late intermediate level.

QUARTET "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay

Intermediate Keyboard Quartet for 4 players on 3 instruments--piano, digital keyboard & organ. Digital keyboard requires string sound. Organ requires (1) chimes and (2) strings on separate manuals. [If chimes aren't available, a handbell or orchestra chimes could be used. May require an additional player.] You can add a floor tom drummer (part not included) to complete the sound of the ensemble.

Purchase includes Full Score (30 pages) and 4 individual parts: Primo, Secondo, Keyboard, and Organ. Individual parts fit on 1-2 pages, have each section labeled, and come with a song map indicating the order to play each section. This non-traditional format is similar in layout to a guitar tab and reduces the length of each part by not re-writing repetitive sections.
