About the Arranger: Carol Matz

Carol Matz

Carol Matz brings three decades of piano pedagogy expertise to every arrangement she creates. Her background in composition and orchestration at the University of Miami informs her distinctive approach to adapting popular music for young pianists, and her experience teaching piano students at all levels shapes how she balances accessibility with musical integrity.

Why we love this

Matz captures the soaring, inspirational quality of this Olympic theme while keeping the arrangement playable for early intermediate students. The big note format makes reading effortless, so students can focus on the emotional arc of the piece rather than wrestling with notation.

What to expect

Uplifting and aspirational, this arrangement radiates the determination and unity that defined the 2010 Winter Olympics broadcast. The melody carries a gentle urgency, supported by harmonies that feel both accessible and rich.

Who it's for

Early intermediate pianists who connect with contemporary pop and film music will gravitate toward this arrangement. It rewards students with immediate recognition of a familiar, emotionally resonant tune while building their comfort with chord-based accompaniment patterns.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the melody with dynamic contrast; the opening feels understated, but the chorus wants to bloom with confidence and volume
  • Keep the accompaniment steady and supportive rather than driving hard into the beat; this theme thrives on a lifted, hopeful feel
  • Use the sustain pedal thoughtfully to blend chord changes without muddying the texture, particularly in passages with wider spacing

How to use it

This works beautifully as a winter concert encore or as part of a thematic program celebrating achievement and resilience. Students often enjoy performing recognizable contemporary music, and the inspirational quality makes it a crowd-pleasing closer.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading big note notation and translating it to tactile hand position
  • Sustaining a melody line while managing block chord accompaniment
  • Dynamic shaping and phrasing in a pop/contemporary context
  • Pedal coordination for tonal blending without cloudiness
