Late Intermediate Piano Solos
|
"Skyfall" by AdeleAdele's theme song from the James Bond movie of the same namer. Second verse adds the familiar half step James Bond riff with RH thumb. Former student, Jack F., performs with bass & drums.
"Dancing With A Stranger" by Sam SmithWhile early intermediate players would only use mm.1-24, late intermediate players will appreciate the development in the second verse/chorus. The LH pattern changes to moving 8th notes in a Jim Brickman/Chopin-esque pattern regularly using 9ths & 10ths. LH drops down an octave for the final chorus. RH adds occasional alto note to the chorus melody line.

"The Beginning" by Jim LansingAn original, New Age style piano solo. LH has lots of arpeggiation. RH melody begins as a single note and develops to full chords with connecting melodic lines. Hands make full use of the piano keyboard. (Video recorded on the acrylic grand piano at Kawai America Showroom in Rancho Dominguez, CA.)
