Description
This “King James'” signature composition is medium-tempo with a touch of gospel piano style and an irresistible happy-go-lucky feel. It’s complex enough to be performed professionally (perfect when you need a short piece to fill time), but easy enough for an intermediate student! It’s fun to listen to, and even more fun to play: it has a catchy melody that students, teachers, and audiences will be humming for quite a long time!
Key: C Major
Mood: happy, carefree, optimistic
Pedagogy: grace notes, swing rhythm, triplets, parallel chromatic chords, staccato, tenuto, accents, syncopation

My students love this! This piece is being enjoyed in my studio! My students love the “cool jazz” feel of this one, the triplets and the grace notes! Fun to play! Great piece!
