Tchaikovsky’s famous theme has an interesting history, and it is one of the most recognized and loved themes in the world!
This famous ballet was Tchaikovsky’s first, but it was not successful during his lifetime. The famous theme used at the end of Act I was part of a piece Tchaikovsky composed for his nieces and nephews, based on a German folk story.
This piece is on the easier side of late intermediate, with opportunities to practice 2 over 3 rhythms.
Key: A minor
Mood: sad, emotional, moving
Pedagogy: pedal, 2 over 3 rhythms, dynamics

James L. King III’s Rag Goo will stimulate the appetite for ragtime by introducing the simplest syncopation in a short, fun, easily learned piece.
It’s 1917 all over again, and the new moving pictures are all the rage! Pianists and organists were hired to perform along with the movie, and James L. King III’s A Night at the Silent Movies captures this style in an epic recital-ready work.
This early intermediate arrangement of the famous theme from Debussy’s Suite bergamasque is ideal for adult students, and is a great introduction to French Impressionism for everybody!

Lovely arrangement of this popular composition! It’s a wonderful version for students who want to play a beautiful tune, but aren’t at the advanced level.
