The Entertaining Cakewalk

When I was young, my Kindergarten teacher had us all listening (during our nap time!) to Debussy's "Claire De Lune" (a personal favorite of mine) and "Golliwog's Cakewalk". Since that time, Debussy has been one of my very favorite composers. Later, as I learned piano, my very favorite classical pieces were the more upbeat songs, such as "The Entertainer".

I thought it would be fun to compose a song that would be fun for piano students to play, and much like the songs that I grew up playing.
