Wednesday, June 11, 2014. Well the pieces just keep coming. Here is another written with adolescent pianists in mind even though most have possibly never heard of Led Zeppelin before. Anyway, the riffs work pretty well here in a piece designed to assist students to gain further hand independence. The Immigrant Song riff works so well as an ostinato. The piece is available here.

I aim to make all of my pian...
