Great Balls of Fire is a Jerry Lee Lewis classic, but its recent appearance in the film, Top Gun, brought it back! Now, young students can enjoy it too.
Heres a fresh new arrangement, thats sure to please! Perfect for group lessons, recitals or just plain fun.
Written in the Key of C Major, 4/4 time, BPM = Woohoo! 140 -160. Includes finger snaps, claps, hand waving, singing, blowing a kiss, and maybe a free for all dance, as options to make younger parts more fun. Piano Ensemble comes with Score and all Parts. This is NOT a Studio License due to copyright issues.
Group Lessons and Piano Ensembles have been growing in popularity, and what a wonderful opportunity to bring everyone together. The beauty of this arrangement is how flexible it is: All the parts can be played together in 1 large group. Mix & match parts: Pianist 3 & 4 are a stand alone Duet. Pianist 5 is a stand alone Intermediate Solo. Pianist 1 is an Elementary Solo- and you can use the Secondo from the Duet to make a quick Teacher duet. Pianist 2 is an easier stand alone Late Elementary Solo. Dont have an advanced student to play Intermediate Solo? Parts 1 - 4 cover all the parts on their own.
FREE Backing Tacks included to aid in practicing for each part! Find them here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dpnwybA1rGXbAe37q1Zu06LdlbqxQiMb?usp=sharing
In this Multi Level Piano Ensemble, youll find:
All parts get to enjoy the melody, some might need to learn it by rote, due to syncopation.
Easy Piano: Simplified melody and minimal movement in Right hand. NO Left hand!
Late Elementary: Simplified melody, with some thirds, and minimal movement in Right hand. Left Hand accompanies with minimal hand movement.
Primo: Top half of the Duet. Straight up Melody the entire piece and is doubled in both hands.
Secondo: Bottom half of the Duet. Low C position Power chords! (Open 5ths) really adds to the pounding Rock beat.
Intermediate Solo/Teacher: This part gets all the fun! Is a stand alone Solo or the Leader of the group. Lots of Octaves in Left Hand and moving hand positions. But dont worry, if you dont have an Intermediate pianist, this part is covered in the Duet. Or use the Backing Track as a foundation for others to play with.
This arrangement is available in 5 versions:
Multi Level Piano Ensemble
Easy Solo
Late Elementary Solo
Intermediate Duet
Intermediate Solo
