Ready to Be a Rock Star, Piano Solo. Late Elementary/Early Intermediate.
Be the Star of the Show!
Originally the most advanced part from my popular multi-level ensemble Ready to be a Rock Star, this stand-alone pop solo puts late elementary and early intermediate pianists in the spotlight. With its driving beat, infectious rhythms, and memorable hooks, it captures the same high-energy excitement of the full ensemble—now as a solo that’s all yours.
