Let's Play Volume 1 Prep to Level 1

All Out of Treats
Teachers can encourage a hammed up performance worthy of this tragedy.  

A Second Opinion
Students can play this piece with "attitude" and really enjoy the dissonance provided by the major second intervals. 

Cool
An opportunity to explore playing with hands two octaves apart and adding chord clusters for dramatic effect. 

Climbing Stairs
This music evokes the journey of a toddler just learning how to climb stairs, determined to get to the very top.

Dreams
In the land of dreams you can take yourself to another world.

Echoing Hands
This happy little piece is like two friends that are imitating each other.

 

Hopscotch
The right hand plays a melody while the left hand hops, and then the hands switch roles. 

Hummingbird 
Inspired by the little hummingbird that visits daily outside our studio window to have a sip of nectar and listen to the piano.

Knocking On Wood
Ina thought it might be interesting and fun to use the right hand as a percussion instrument while the left hand plays the tune.

Ostinato Fun
The right hand is based on a Dm natural scale while the left hand provides a repeated bass note pattern.

Simply Blue
This is a twelve bar blues with two ways to play the theme, first detached and then legato. 

Skipping Stones
For anyone who has had the pleasure of skipping stones on water this is a fun and free exploration of black note clusters. 

Splatz
A study in contrast between a simple light melody and rhythmic clusters in the opposing hand. 

Tina's Sonateeny
Inspired by the idea of creating the beginnings of a theme for a sonatina.
