DD 11 wants to learn a 'fun' non classical piece. She is currently working towards grade 4 (just started so will take a while) but has played G 5/6 piece with her teacher previously.

He db plays hedwig's theme as his 'fun' piece but dd doesn't want to the same nor is she into Harry Potter.

She hasn't watched any of the avengers / Star Wars etc movies so that wouldn't interest her.

Can you suggest some pieces to her, either film /game music or anything else that's a bit more modern and has bit of wow or cool factor?

TIA!

Ds downloaded the minecraft sheet music a few years ago for fun. Or could she have a look at pieces in the trinity rock and pop syllabus.

The pink panther theme! My son has leant to play it on electric guitar and it sounds amazing and makes everyone smile when they hear it

Some of the studio ghibli stuff? Merrygoround of Life very popular with my two and their friends (don't know how it is for piano but there are probably lots of arrangements)

Does she like any.musicals or disney films? My daughter has the sheet music for several that she enjoys and likes to teach herself the simpler tunes.

What music does she listen to for fun? Or what games does she play/films does she watch? Everything gets arranged for piano, so if there's something she likes you can probably find it. We've had all sorts over the years from Frozen to Queen songs.

Einaudi? Ragtime always sounds good, need an arrangement as it's quite tricky. Or just Google the names of games or films plus piano arrangement, there's so much out there. You might have to pay for some of the better arrangements. My ds did the theme tune from Sherlock, that was nice.

How to Train Your Dragon theme? A classic!

Ben Crosland's "Cool Beans" collection is perfect for that age and level. The pieces are all very filmic.
