Fractured Folk Songs

Valerie Roth Roubos

Inspired by Saturday morning cartoons, this amusing collection presents familiar folk songs with an added (quirky!) twist - the music and words are slightly changed to make them fun. Some titles include: Home on the Strange; Hush, Little Monster; I’ve Been Waltzing on the Railroad; Plop! Goes the Weasel; and more. Written with accidentals (not key signatures), these solos are two pages in length with lyrics. A fun book for a 1st-2nd year pianist, it could also be used as a "sight reading at your lesson" book for your higher-level students.
