The car horns and the relentless left-hand make this piece one that students have great time learning and playing!
Rush Hour is a Glass-ian minimalist piece that your early intermediate students will be able to prepare quickly (it technically meets the criteria for a late elementary work), making it a terrific “emergency” recital piece. It is loads of fun to play and even more fun to listen to, thanks to the “car horns” placed throughout.
Key: C Major
Mood: impatient, restless, irritable

Styles & Smiles, Vol. 1 is a delightful collection of pieces containing some of James L. King III’s most-loved works! It is a book that will immediately capture students’ attention, and will grow with them with incredibly fun pieces!
This impressive, optimistic and joyful pop-style piece will be one of your studio favorites!

ACE Caravan is written almost entirely on the ledger lines for a “far out” piano experience!
You won’t need another arrangement of this famous piece after you’ve learned this one!

Fun! Love the way the music captures the feel of being on the road and in traffic!
Chrisanne Holm –
I’ve been teaching this to several students this week – they are all loving it! One exclaimed, “This is gonna be FUN!” They TOTALLY get into the left hand rhythm and love “honking the horn” on F-sharp! Great piece!!
