Swing King Dennis Alexander

Written in the key of D major, this late-intermediate piece combines multiple elements in 4/4 meter that are sure to catch students' eyes. The left hand provides a solid accompaniment through the use of harmonic intervals, chords, and octaves, while the right hand swings around the treble staff with lively eighth notes and triplets. Contrasting dynamics, varied articulations, and many accidentals add challenges and excitement.
