Opa! - Tune of the Week

Our adult classes have had so much FUN this week with "Opa!" - one of our students last night said they haven't had this much fun since "Circus Phantom."  If you're not familiar, "Circus Phantom" is a RH, five-finger exercise found in Musical Moments, Way Cool Keyboarding and Way Cool Keyboarding 4 kids (you can access these materials from the Books page on the WillBailyPianoTunes.com website). The tune itself is a duet that seems to talk back and forth between the 2 parts. Set in Greek sirtaki - dance style, "Opa!" starts out slow - complete with clapping measures - then, POW! "Twice as fast"  hold on to your hat, back to the beginning - this piece moves.  (Suggest in the beginning weeks - RH only on the repeat.)  Your fingers will actually dance in this piece!  Have Fun and Happy Teaching!

  1. Will, When I try to access the Opa! MIDI file, I get a 404 error. Can you load it again? Thanks!

    1. Hey Chris,

      Thanks for letting me know. Just reloaded and it looks okay now from this end. Let me know! The server is very picky. Lol. Have fun with this tune!
