Tom Gerou: Square Wheels - Early Elementary Piano Solo

Square Wheels is a quirky and fun piano solo for early elementary students, complete with playful lyrics and an optional teacher accompaniment. Built on a blues progression, the piece emphasizes the use of fingers 2‑3‑4, along with simple hands‑together playing.

Students will explore blocked intervals of a 3rd and tritone, as well as broken C and D major triads. It also introduces flats, naturals, slurs, and staccatos, giving young pianists a variety of technical elements to practice in a lighthearted musical setting.

Perfect for beginners, Square Wheels blends accessible technique with a whimsical character that students will love to play and sing.
