  A-Rockin' and A-Rollin'

  Mid-Elementary Level

  Series: Willis
  Composer: Victoria Sabo
  
  

  2.95 (US)
  HL 00406591

  View Closer Look Add to Wish List Add to Cart Description: This little song was composed ten years ago but it was only recently that I decided to expand it into a set of variations. The student I originally composed it for continues to study with me and he remembers playing A-Rockin' And A-Rollin' in a recital when he was five! This set has a good beat and a catchy melody and is particularly attractive to males. A fun and challenging assignment is to see if students can come up with their own variation after they have learned the piece.
  
  Key: C Major

  Tarantella Terrifique

  Later Elementary Level

  Series: Willis
  Composer: Claudette Hudelson
  
  

  3.99 (US)
  HL 00406851

  View Closer Look Add to Wish List Add to Cart Description: An easy piece in 6/8 time that can sound “hard” when played fast. RH uses the same 5-finger patterns with various harmonies. The melody is played in both hands as a melody “workout” for the hands. The piece is in ABA form with an intro and coda.
  
  Purpose: This piece is great for strengthening fingers equally for uniform tone and developing agility.
  
  Suggestions for Instruction: I start with RH-showing the repetition of the melody and parts thereof. Then I point out various LH positions for the 5ths.
