Tom Gerou: Around a Roundabout – Early Elementary Piano Solo

Around a Roundabout is a playful and imaginative piano solo for early elementary students, complete with lyrics and an optional teacher accompaniment. Both hands remain in F five‑finger position, exploring F major and F minor while incorporating hand‑over‑hand motion to extend the keyboard range.

Intervals of a 2nd create a fun “honking car” sound, adding character and humor to the piece. Its steady patterns and limited hand movement make it accessible for beginners while still engaging their creativity and sense of storytelling.

Perfect for recital performances or studio fun, this solo blends simple technical elements with a whimsical theme that students will love.
