It happens at least once in every recital. And when it does… the little one sitting on Dad’s lap stops fidgeting… the impatient sibling in the back row stops folding programs into paper airplanes… and the audience abandons polite applause in favor of giddy hoots, whoops, and thunderous applause.
Yup… it’s that moment when a teen piano student absolutely rocks your recital… when a teen piano student plays with so much passion and power that the audience is completely awestruck.
And when this happens at your next piano recital, chances are it will be in reaction to a student playing a piece from How To Rock Your Next Recital… a resource that contains the teen music that will “bring down the house” come recital season. How To Rock Your Next Recital is Teach Piano Today’s PianoBookClub Book of the Month for March.
But, of course, as with all of our books, it’s also way more than just rockin’ recital music! How To Rock Your Next Recital is packed with the “oh-so-cool” repertoire your intermediate students need to practice decoding (crunching!) left-hand accompaniments in seven major keys, giving them the skills required to learn and memorize music with ease…
How To Rock Your Next Recital was March 2017’s Book of the Month from PianoBookClub. To see this month’s book visit PianoBookClub.com.

March 9, 2016 at 7:03 amI love having these music previews! I downloaded the March book last week, but hadn’t done more than glance through it. But I will rush to print off some of those asap. I especially love Rushing Forth.
Andrea says

March 9, 2016 at 10:53 amFabulous Heidi! I hope she enjoys working through the book 🙂
Elizabeth Wright says
March 9, 2016 at 8:16 amWould these be sent as digital files or an actual book? Postage to my country makes prices exorbitant, this is why I ask.
Andrea says
March 9, 2016 at 10:53 amHi Elizabeth – all of our music through PianoBookClub is delivered digitally. The $8 membership fee includes an unlimited printing license for all of the books so you can print use them with as many students as you like within your private studio.
Marie says

Andrea says

Anita Lardy says
March 10, 2016 at 8:32 amAndrea,
I am already a member of the Piano Book Club and would love to purchase this book. Am I able to do that?
Anita lardy
Andrea says
March 10, 2016 at 10:29 pmHi Anita – yes you are a member! Your book delivery date is the 14th of the month which is why you haven’t received this one yet. If you want me to move your delivery date earlier just email me.
Merri Williams says
March 10, 2016 at 9:10 pmAndrea,
I’m not sure if I’m a member or not. Been undergoing treatment for breast cancer, and can’t find any receipt for it in my email. But I did a major purge of email about 3 months ago, so it’s possible I accidentally deleted it. Could you please advise if I am not a member? I think my teenage students would really enjoy this.
Is it in eBook format or hardcopy?
Thanks again!
Merri Williams
Andrea says
March 10, 2016 at 10:26 pmHi Merri – I’ve just emailed you to sort this out for you 🙂 The book is an eBook that comes with a license to print unlimited copies of it for use in your personal studio.
Shannon says
March 11, 2016 at 11:53 amThank you, thank you! I love your posts and the books that arrive monthly, you seem to have exactly what I need! I can hardly wait for this one!
Jennifer Keeney says
March 15, 2016 at 5:35 amI totally can’t wait for this one! I have so many teens now. SO EXCITED!
kathjane says
March 28, 2016 at 5:49 amThese pieces sound really great, and perfect for keeping teens engaged. Is there a way we can buy just a single book without being in the book club? I love the games club, but I feel like I wouldn’t use a lot of the stuff in the book club. I’m really happy with the tutor books I use, and most of my older students have school and external music exams to do which gives us a lot of repertoire to get through already. It would be great if some of your most popular books could be individual downloads.
Leonie says
April 26, 2016 at 2:04 pmHi! I love your blog and music-thank you for all your great ideas!Is there any way of still accessing these pieces?I have some teens who would love them, but I have only just signed up for the book club now and it’s April, so fear I may have missed them!
Andrea says

July 13, 2016 at 4:15 pmCan I purchase the four pieces from How To Rock You Next Recital? I am a member of the Book Club. But I wasn’t 4 months ago when these were released.
