There are some shifts in fingering to keep students from playing in one hand position.   Prelude in D Minor W9348 / 2.50 A musical flight of fancy for the late elementary student, Prelude in D Minor is a study in legato phrasing as the presto melody continually flows from the L.H to the R.H, and then intersperses L.H. staccato with R.H. legato in the B section. This charming piece then returns to the original legato flow and ends with flourish! Sure to delight your students and audience alike.   Traffic Jam Blues W9123 / 2.50 Fun-to-play composition allows your students to practice melody with both hands, legato/staccato articulations, and accidentals. Traffic Jam Blues gives teachers a wonderful tool for introducing hand independence. Early Intermediate Cat on the Prowl W9242 / 2.50 Written for the Early Intermediate student, this lively and animated piece depicts the activities and antics of a lurking cat. Bouncy staccato articulations, changing accidentals, and a quick tempo throughout, ensures that this piece will be as fun for the student as it is for the listener.   Little Prelude W9246 / 2.50 Students of any age will enjoy this lyrical prelude in 6/8 time. Written in C minor with both hands playing in the treble clef, it features the LH playing groups of three dotted quarter notes to eighth notes in the RH. Sure to be a favorite!   Raindrops in the Garden Pool W9113 / 2.50 Enchanting piano solo captures the imagery of raindrops gently falling on a pond. By playing this beautiful piece, students will have the opportunity to practice concepts such as legato pedaling, left-hand ostinato, cross-hand arpeggios and pentatonic scale.   Sonatina for the Wiregrass W9207 / 3.50 A playfully lyrical piece, Sonatina for the Wiregrass makes a pleasing invitation to the three-movement sonata: Jubilee puts right-hand phrasing and dynamics on display; Aria sings a sequential theme with broken-chord accompaniment, and Dance sums up the work with a fast Minuet. A lovely opportunity to show understanding of sonata form in a modern setting.   Intermediate The Fountain W9156 / 2.95 This charming, flowing tone poem will impress the intermediate student with its beauty. It features arpeggiated chords that suggest imagery of water cascading from a fountain. An excellent selection for recitals and festivals.

The lyrical style is reminiscent of the expressive romantic melodies of the Chopin waltzes.   Return to "Written for You" Piano Solos.    About Us :: Composers & Writers :: Contact Us :: Conventions & Workshops Piano Music :: Guitar Music :: Concert Band Music Jazz Ensemble Music :: String Orchestra Music :: Solo & Ensemble Music Canzonique Music :: Percussion Music :: :: Home Copyright © The FJH Music Company Inc.
