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.
