Early Intermediate

Students will enjoy playing this mysterious piece that begins in a C minor hand position. It moves through eighth note scale passages in both the left and right hand, keeping the fingers moving and creating a lot of interest in the process.

There's some finger crossing happening in this fun piece in the key of C minor, but mostly it stays in the C minor 5-finger pattern. The rhythm has a lot of syncopation that can be taught by rote or slowed down for counting out loud.

Beginning in a low G minor position then modulating to G Major in the middle, this piece has a lot of contrast and interest for students. The right hand moves from G positions up to a high C and then back again. Careful attention to fingering allows students to pass between these sections freely.

This piece is based on a Native American chant that celebrates a feast day. It is written in the key of e minor.
