First off, we want to apologize for sharing posts showcasing two of our piano books in one week. We make it our mission to give, give, give as much as we can to piano teachers without constantly talking about our products…
But because this book could have such a positive impact on your winter recitals we wanted to share it before your teen beginners select their performance pieces. And with the distraction of Halloween next week, time was running out!
So here it is… we are excited to tell you that WunderKeys Rock Repertoire For Teen Beginners is now available on Amazon. The music is a collection of 14 piano pieces from our uber-popular PianoBookClub books, How To Rock Your First Recital and How To Rock Your First Pop Performance.
And while this book will FINALLY get teen beginners excited about participating in a recital… its true value lies in motivating repertoire that can be used in conjunction with (or as a replacement for) method books that can make teens feel like little kids.
Keep reading below to learn more.
No More Twinkle, Twinkle For Your Teen Beginners
You will not find Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean, or Mary Had A Little Lamb in this book. Instead, you will find rock-infused music written just for teens in their first year of piano lessons.
The 14 pieces in WunderKeys Rock Repertoire For Teen Beginners are set in the C 5-Finger Scale and are accompanied by full teacher duets to create an inspiring musical experience. Written for teen beginners in their first year of piano lessons, it is the first book in our upcoming series that will also include beginning teen repertoire in Middle C position and the G 5-Finger Scale.
While the piano pieces in this book work wonders as standalone solos, the teacher duets add a whole new element of fun. They turn solo experiences into rockin’ sessions of shared music making. Have a listen to one of the pieces below:
Unlike little kids who are happy to just make music and enjoy the piano lesson experience teens want to sound good… NOW! So if your teen beginners are uninspired with “too young” music or “too boring” music it might be time to switch them to (or at least supplement with) rock repertoire that will keep them glued to the bench. Have a listen to another tune:
And we shouldn’t forget to mention our backing tracks! To allow your teens to rock out a home we have also created backing tracks to accompany the book. If you visit WunderKeys.com/Teen-Backing-Tracks/ you will find teacher accompaniments available for playback or download.

Note: Just to remind you again… if you are a long-time PianoBookClub’er you will probably have already received the music in this book in digital form when you purchased How To Rock Your First Recital and How To Rock Your Next Pop Performance (both of which are no longer available).

Brilliant idea, releasing this! I do indeed have the music already from PBC but am very excited at the mention of something similar in G position.
I use the original two books every day – for teen beginners, adult beginners, quick learn pieces, sightreading….. absolutely love them.
I’m sure this will be a great seller for you, and I’m looking forward to the next Wunderkeys For Teen Beginners instalment.

Hi Elaine – thrilled that you use this music so often – every day use is amazing – I’m really happy to hear it! Thanks for your kind words 🙂
Barbara says
These are great and can’t say enough about having hard copies of this music! I noticed that some of the backing tracks are missing the download “button.” Are only certain one downloadable or is that maybe a techno-glitch? As always, a big THANK YOU for all you do for piano students and teachers:)
Andrea says
Hi Barbara! They’re all downloadable – I’ll double check and fix any that need it 🙂 Glad you’re excited about the music!
Morgan says
Are these original rock style songs, or are these piano versions of popular songs?
Andrea says
Hi Morgan – these are all original pieces 🙂
