In this video, I perform “Test Driving Toothless”, also known as "Test Drive" or the exhilarating main theme from How to Train Your Dragon, composed by John Powell — one of the most iconic and emotionally powerful scores in modern animation.

This theme perfectly captures the thrill and freedom of flying with Toothless, blending soaring melodies, rhythmic energy, and cinematic emotion. My piano arrangement brings that spirit to life through dynamic textures, sweeping phrases, and heartfelt expression. I wanted to make the piano sound as orchestral as possible, so I made sure to use the entire range of the keyboard!

Whether you’re a longtime HTTYD fan or hearing this theme for the first time, I hope this solo piano version transports you to the skies of Berk.
