In “Adventure Awaits,” Jerald Simon has composed 13 new original intermediate level piano solos that range in style from contemporary, classical, and new age, to a cinematic, score-like sound, intermixed with pop and rock elements, rhythms, themes, and characteristics. With titles such as: “Adventure Awaits,” “The Journey,” “Forward March,” “Dreams of the Heart,” “Onward,” “The Forgotten Battle,” “Let the Games Begin,” and more, piano students are captivated by the melodious and harmonious adventure filled themes.
This piano music is ideal for intermediate level piano students. Throughout the book, students play intermediate level piano music that sounds and appears more advanced than it really is. Simon creates compelling melodies around familiar chord progressions. Students will enjoy playing ascending and descending triplets, blocked and broken octave intervals, and octave chords. Within the music, students will see how Simon incorporates familiar chords and scales in a new and exciting way. Through the music, Jerald hopes to portray the fancies of fairy tales and conquests, the struggles of battles and quests, and the dream to continue on the journey while marching forward with fortitude, strength, and a fearless call of heroism. The music beckons the piano player to embrace the champion’s creed, to experience the forgotten battles, and to embark upon the adventure that awaits.
"WOW. Delightful. I loved Adventure Awaits and your piano students will, too. I have learned to really enjoy listening to movie soundtracks. Adventure Awaits is like playing a well thought out musical score, while imaging your own story. Great for students who play with no emotion. Great for students who long to play dynamic, impressive music. I can see students learning the songs—cover to cover—then enjoying playing the whole book in one setting. What motivational music therapy that will be!" — Martha Ruppert (piano teacher)
Here are some samples from the book (you can listen to the audio if you scroll down the page)...
"My teenage students love the music variety in this book! It is also packed with techniques and musical expressions for the students to explore and master. A definite inclusion in the students' repertoire."
— Hsiao-Ting Chen (piano teacher from Australia)
"I thoroughly enjoyed playing the pieces in Jerald Simon’s Adventure Awaits! This book contains 13 piano solos for the intermediate and early advanced pianist. Some of the pieces are reminiscent of Celtic times, others have a Classical or New Age air about them. As I played the pieces in sequential order, I felt like I was on a musical journey. Jerald has provided technical and performance notes at the beginning of some of the pieces. Some of the pieces are challenging due to the use of ledger lines in both the treble and bass clefs. Jerald has uploaded his performance of each piece to YouTube. This will provide you or your piano student with hints on how to perform the piece. If you love to play this style of piano music, Adventure Awaits! is a great addition to your piano music library. It is also a wonderful book to be added to your piano teaching library". — LuAnne Williams (piano teacher)
