The left hand can be quite lazy in this tune, but the right hand has more work to do. The tune should really sing out, with careful attention paid to phrasing.

This piece says 'I mean business!' There's a lighter middle section which feels less intense, but then it's back to it. There are some important solos for the left hand - make sure you let these moments really sing out.

I've written this piece for a young man who became very fond of another of my tunes, Ants in Your Pants. I've tried to create a similar vibe whilst making it even more challenging.

There's a fair bit of moving around for the hands in this piece - especially in the second half - but there's lots of patterns to latch on to.

There's quite a bit of gymnastics involved for the right hand in this piece. You really need to know where you're going, especially in the coda. Take a leap of faith, and after a few tries your muscles will remember!

I remember rainy days as a child meant no playing outside with my friends. Nowadays they're a chance to catch up with admin. Oh to be young again...

Use your left hand to create a driving rhythm. The right hand needs to be nimble as there are some big jumps and stretches.

I've written today's piece for a very special friend, who reaches a milestone birthday tomorrow. To play the piece well, great care needs to be taken over the quavers, which often repeat the main melody note or even go above the melody, but should always be played softer, so as to not outshine the melody.
