Sweet Dreams, Elementary solo with teacher duet

Sweet Dreams is a lyrical, pop-inspired piano solo that feels as heartfelt and flowing as a favorite ballad — think a gentle waltz with a memorable melody that students will want to play again and again. Its expressive 3/4 rhythm helps players develop a smooth, lyrical touch while learning to shape melody and feel pulse in a song-like style. Best of all, this solo includes an optional teacher/older-student duet part with chord symbols, perfect for ensemble play, creative embellishment, and collaborative performance.
