Summer Fun for Elementary to Late Elementary:
Splish Splash, Cannonball! This fun piece gets lots of time in the pool - Do you hear the splashes in the repetitive staccatos and accidentals? And for the big finish, let’s run off the diving board with some Cross hand arpeggios and then a really big splash - here’s our Cannonball! Skill development: C position. 4/4 time. Staccatos. Steady beat. Cross Hand Arpeggios. Accidentals.
Trampoline Fun! What does jumping on a Trampoline sound like? Why, big leaps between the hands, of course!! This piece is fun to play but also a great chance to introduce Intervals to students. See if you can jump even higher when Right hand moves up an Octave for the repeat. Skill development: C position. 4/4 time. Intervals. Staccatos. Repetitive Eighth note patterns. Accidentals. Grace note.
Cartwheels: Have you ever done Cartwheels? Did it leave your head spinning? See if you can create that spinning motion as your Left Hand crosses over Right hand in this fun melody. What happens in measure 17? Did you fall down? I think something happened when those Accidentals showed up again. Skill development: 4/4 time. C position, but watch out for Left Hand movement. Cross Hand Arpeggios. Accidentals.
Soccer Game! When you play Soccer, what are some of the things that keep happening? Running & Kicking! Here’s a Left hand melody to get us running across the field. Look for the “kicks” in the grace notes and accidentals. How fast can you play this one? Skill development: C position. 4/4 time. Left Hand melody. Lyrical playing vs. Staccatos. Accidentals. Eighth note rhythm patterns.
Ice Cream Truck: You can always hear the Ice Cream Truck coming from a mile away - why is that? Is it for the yummy desserts or the catchy tune? This fun Ragtime piece is definitely a catchy tune! Introduce your students to Syncopation using this repetitive rhythm that is easy to learn. Get more mileage out the melody by playing it in different Octaves. Skill development: C position. Chromatic Left Hand patterns. Simple Left hand makes it easy to play with the Syncopated Right Hand melody. Easy to read notes with Octave higher signs.
This is a STUDIO LICENSE: One purchase - One person is allowed multiple copies for students in their Studio. Thank you for honoring the creativity and work of the composer.
