I hope you enjoy “The Dawn of a New Age™”. With this book, I want to teach piano concepts and skills (left hand New Age patterns) to better help pianists create music of their own. This book is graded in that each piano solo gradually becomes more difficult (the easiest pieces are at the beginning of the book and the most difficult ones are at the end of the book).
The pieces in this book will help you learn fun, piano skills (such as music theory, technique, transposing, improvising, and composing) through upbeat and cool sounding piano selections composed by me - your personal Music Mentor™ - Jerald Simon.
Have fun with the music!
This book is dedicated to my many piano students - young and old alike, who ask for ideas and left hand patterns to create new age sounding music of their own.
Also, to my wife, Suzanne (Zanny), my daughter, Summer, and my son, Preston.

There are 12 original new age piano solos composed by Jerald Simon in this book. They were composed for the intermediate to late intermediate piano students. As with all of Jerald’s original piano music, he teaches music theory through each song. Jerald’s books are not method books - simply fun, cool piano solos that Teach Music Theory - The Fun Way™. It is his hope that piansts of all ages will enjoy playing these new age piano solos. The theory in the introduction of this book is presented to help piano students and piano teachers understand the theory of new age left hand patterns and how to use them to create music of their own.
“My purpose and mission in life is to motivate myself and others through my music and writing, to help others find their purpose and mission in life, and to teach values and encourage everyone everywhere to do and be their best.” - Jerald Simon
A message from Jerald to piano students and parents:If you come to piano lessons each week and walk away only having learned about music notation, rhythm, and dots on a page, then I have failed as a Music Mentor™. Life lessons are just as important, if not more important than music lessons. I would rather have you learn more about goal setting and achieving, character, dedication, and personal improvement. To have you learn to love music, appreciate it, and play it, is a wonderful byproduct you will have for the rest of your life - a talent that will enrich your life and the lives of others. To become a better musician is wonderful and important, but to become a better person is more important.
As a Music Mentor™ I want to mentor students to be the very best they can be. If you choose not to practice, you essentially choose not to improve. This is true in any area of life. Everyone has the same amount of time allotted to them. What you choose to do with your time, and where you spend your time, has little to do with the activities being done and more to do with the value attached to each activity.
I believe it’s important to be well-rounded and have many diverse interests. I want students to enjoy music, to learn to be creative and understand how to express themselves musically - either by creating music of their own, or interpreting the music of others - by arranging and improvising well known music. In addition, I encourage students to play sports, dance, sing, draw, read, and develop all of their talents. I want them to be more than musicians, I want them to learn to become well-rounded individuals.
Above all, I want everyone to continually improve and do their best. I encourage everyone to set goals, dream big, and be the best they can be in whatever they choose to do. Life is full of wonderful choices. Choose the best out of life and learn as much as you can from everyone everywhere. I prefer being called a Music Mentor™ because I want to mentor others and help them to live their dreams.
Your life is your musical symphony. Make it a masterpiece!

Music that excites, entertains, and educates™
Try playing all of these examples in several keys (preferably in all keys). You should try playing these patterns beginning on every note on the piano (A, B, C, D, E, F, G including all of the sharps and flats). Become familiar with the rhythms and make sure your left hand can keep the pattern going independent of the right hand. When you can do this comfortably in all keys, it will help you tremendously when playing new age music. Have fun with the following 12 new age piano solos. Make music of your own with these simple left hand patterns!
Left hand New Age patterns
This is an example from the piano solo Utopia (measure 45) on page 24. This left hand pattern is created by playing the first, fifth and eighth notes from any scale over and over again in a cycle (e.g. 1 = C, and 5 = G, and 8 = C up an octave above the 1).
Left hand pattern: 1-5-8-1-5-8 (e.g. C-G-C-C-G-C)
