Composition Mysterious Procession

Main Technical Difficulty or Benefit Left Hand Melody Sight Reading Hand Independence Expressive Playing

Other Notes & Comments This is for the total beginner, and can be taught on the very first lesson. RH play a steady even ostinato using only the note E, while the left hand plays the melody which consists only of ABC in differentorders and simple rhythms. Excellent for sightreading, for hand independence, for expressive playing and for bringing up a melody on the left hand. It can also be used as a seed for free improvisation.

1 Alt

Hot Noon in the Meadow

Introduction to how chords develop emotion Similar in difficulty to the above, this set of pieces uses modern harmonies to tell stories, so it is a very goodintroduction to how and why chords and intervals can elicit different emotions (for instance, “The spider” uses tritons to build up suspense, and “Bees and Flies” uses chromatic intervals to emulate buzzing).

1 Alt

The Ocean

Pattern Introduction

A collection of 10 pieces for the complete beginner, most you can teach at the first lesson. The interesting thing here is that they use thewhole keyboard and introduce patterns that frequently appear in the more advanced pieces, so they are excellent preparatory pieces. Again very good recital material for beginners.

Form & Rhythm Blues Scales Syncopation

More difficult than the one above, theyare also more modern in idiom. Each can be used both as repertory and as teaching material. “Little prelude in Waltz time” can be used to teach both about form and rhythm, “Baroque bounce” likewise can be used to discuss what is “Baroque”, “Echoes of the blues” introduces the blues scales, and “Ragtime doll” is excellent for syncopation.
