About the Composer: Carol Matz

Carol Matz

Carol Matz has created more than 300 compositions and arrangements for piano students, drawing on deep experience as a performer and educator. She has led piano pedagogy workshops across North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, and developed the widely-used Famous & Fun series with Alfred Music. Her training in composition, arranging, and orchestration at the University of Miami extends beyond solo piano work into orchestra, jazz big band, brass quintet, and chamber settings.

Matz's studio work in Miami recording environments has given her a keen ear for contemporary idiom and popular styles. Her ability to craft engaging, technically purposeful pieces for young pianists comes from years of understanding what students actually want to play.

Why we love this

This piece delivers exactly what elementary students crave: a fun, energetic showpiece that happens to contain real rhythmic and technical challenges. The boogie idiom is immediately appealing, while the hand position changes, mixed articulations, and chromatic writing push students past their comfort zones without overwhelming them.

What to expect

Groovy, propulsive energy with a nod to classic boogie-woogie style. The accumulation of accidentals and hand movements creates a sense of motion and drive, making the piece feel more sophisticated than its elementary level suggests.

Who it's for

Elementary pianists ready for a rhythmically engaging piece that doesn't require an advanced technical foundation. This works well for students who thrive on contemporary styles and want a crowd-pleasing recital piece that earns genuine applause.

How to get the most out of it

  • Map out all hand position changes before performance. Mark the exact spots in your score where your hands shift, and practice those transitions slowly until they feel automatic.
  • Pay close attention to the accidentals in the G tonality. Scan ahead for chromatic notes so you won't be caught off guard during performance tempo.
  • Let the boogie rhythm drive the piece forward. The steady pulse underneath gives you freedom to phrase the melody with confidence.
  • Differentiate your articulations clearly. The contrast between legato and staccato sections defines the character of this piece.

How to use it

Pair this with classical or Baroque repertoire on a recital to showcase your student's stylistic range and rhythmic maturity. Its Festival selection history makes it an excellent choice for competition or adjudication prep during the 2016-2020 cycle.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading accidentals within a clear tonal center (G major/minor)
  • Managing mixed articulations (legato, staccato, tenuto) in the same phrase
  • Executing rhythmic patterns with syncopation and boogie eighth-note figures
  • Executing multiple hand position changes within a short time frame
  • Maintaining steady tempo while navigating technical demands
