A-Rockin' and A-Rollin'
Mid-Elementary Level
Willis
Composer: Victoria Sabo
$2.95 (US)*
HL 406591Closer 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.

Swan Pond
Mid-Elementary Level
Willis
Composer: Claudette Hudelson
$1.95 (US)*
HL 416499Add to Wish List Add to Cart Description: A nice solo in 3/4 time with Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake theme in the B section. One hand moves at a time.
Purpose: The piece serves to introduce accidentals and also to give practice in playing in 3/4 time which seems to be difficult for beginners to learn, who tend to hold the third beat for two counts.
Suggestions for Instruction: I suggest that they count the note values “quar-ter, quar-ter, quar-ter” so that it is consistent without paying too much attention to the bar lines.

Musette
John Thompson's Students Series/ Mid-Elementary Level
Willis
Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Arranger: John Thompson
$1.95 (US)*
HL 414784Add to Wish List Add to Cart A musette is a small bagpipe that was used in nearly all the European countries in times past. Like the modern bagpipe it contained a leather bag full of wind which supplied a drone bass against whatever melody was being played on the pipes of the instrument. This simple transcription of a Musette by Bach (transposed to E Major) uses open fifths which very much sounds like the drone of a musette or bagpipe. -

When Notes Go Skipping

Author: Dorothy Gaynor Blake
$2.95 (US)*
HL 412021Add to Wish List Add to Cart The two books, When Notes Go Walking (Book 1) and When Notes Go Skipping (Book 2) contain pieces for piano students who are playing for the first time from printed music. At the outset, the student is given a practical manner of reading notes, which needs not be discarded, changed or modified as the student advances. The plan is simple: Watch the notes to see where they go! After the first note is played, the student reads on by DIRECTION and DISTANCE, observing each note in its RELATED POSITION to the last one played. -

Sleepytime Serenade
Mid-Elementary Level
Willis
Composer: Carolyn C. Setliff
$1.95 (US)*
HL 406749Add to Wish List Add to Cart Description: Sleepytime Serenade begins with the melody line in the LH, which crosses over the RH for the softer measures. The B section goes to the key of B flat. Pedaling is used throughout. The piece ends in the upper register with an ascending pattern.
Purpose: This piece gives students an opportunity to perfect the overlapping pedaling technique. Reading skills are enhanced, as well as hand-crossings. Both RH and LH have ledger line notes between the staffs. There are a wide range of dynamic markings. A smooth, legato sound will musically portray its title.
