Ep. 26 – Olympic Inspirations

from Piano Pedagogy Playlist · host Luke Bartolomeo

The Winter Olympic Games are underway, and this week’s Piano Pedagogy Playlist celebrates the spirit of the games with five sport-inspired pieces for elementary and intermediate students. From the energetic triads of Olympiad to the driving rhythms of Slap Shot, and from graceful ice skating to one winter sport you might never expect to hear represented at the piano, today’s selections capture the motion, excitement, and atmosphere of the Winter Games. The episode closes with a bold Olympic Fanfare full of ringing fifths and heroic sounds at the keyboard. Whether your students are avidly watching the games or just love winter-themed music, these pieces are a great way to channel that excitement into practice.
