When your students hear this delightful piano solo, it’s guaranteed that they will exclaim, “I’ve gotta play that piece!” Bill Boyd’s done it again with this perpetual motion mini-toccata for the elementary performer. Adults and young students alike will love the lively 5-finger motive that keeps them on their fingertips as they move around the keyboard in 5-finger I- IV- and V- chord positions. A real winner!
