I could use some suggestions for my student who is going to community college. I think I have overloaded him with classical music lately and he is wanting some pieces that are more modern sounding. He did Jon Schmidt's "Tribute" for the recital (his choice not mine) and Rondo Duet by Diabelli. Last year he did Toccatina by Timothy Brown. He loves classical but also likes a good dose of modern music. I appreciate any your time and suggestions. I really need to get him something by next week and am stuck...

Thank you very much,
Betty

I agree with xstich and want to add Yan Thiersen, who is very popular among teens too.
