More about this title

About the Arranger: Tom Gerou

Tom Gerou

Tom Gerou has shaped music education through prolific output that spans reference works, pedagogical curricula, and accessible arrangements. His Essential Dictionary titles are standard references in many music studios, while his Premier Piano Course series has guided generations of students through repertoire and music history. Across compositions and arrangements, Gerou maintains a gift for meeting students where they are, translating popular material into playable, engaging forms.

A USC and Yale-trained composer, Gerou brings sophisticated harmonic and structural thinking to every project. His theatrical works have earned recognition including Drama Critics Circle Awards and a Morton Gould Young Composer Award. His arrangements populate Alfred's greatest hits collections and have become trusted tools for piano teachers seeking quality popular music transcriptions.

Why we love this

Pop hits arranged for five-finger piano often sacrifice musicality for accessibility, but Gerou's treatment preserves the irrepressible energy of this song while keeping the technical demands reasonable for early intermediate players. Students encounter actual rock-influenced voicings and rhythmic drive rather than a simplified skeleton. The remix subtitle suggests this isn't a straightforward transcription, expect modern, playful harmonic touches that keep the arrangement fresh.

What to expect

Bright, energetic, and modern. The remix treatment brings contemporary groove to a beloved tune, creating something that feels present-day rather than nostalgic. It's the kind of piece that makes students want to keep playing once they've nailed it.

Who it's for

Young pianists in elementary to early middle school who are ready for simple notation but hungry for repertoire that feels current and relevant. This works equally well as a solo performance piece or a fun warm-up for group lessons.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock in the rhythmic groove early in your practice sessions. The remix elements rely on steady pulse, so work with a metronome to build confidence in the patterns before worrying about tempo.
  • Let the left hand drive the energy. Five-finger arrangements often ask the left hand to carry rhythmic and harmonic weight; give it the same attention you would the melody.
  • Lean into the pop-rock character. This piece wants energy and lift, not delicate touch; aim for clean articulation with a relaxed wrist and let the groove breathe.

How to use it

This lands naturally in a casual concert or community performance where you want to showcase younger pianists in an approachable, high-energy slot. It also works as a motivational recital piece for students who need encouragement to keep practicing.

Skills your students will build

  • Five-finger position stability and independence
  • Rhythmic precision in pop-rock grooves
  • Coordination between hands in a contemporary style
  • Reading and executing dynamic and articulation markings for character
