New pattern-based pieces for beginners!

4/16/2021

Happy Friday! Just popping in to share two brand-new pieces now available at Piano Pronto!

These pieces are part of my upcoming "First Perfect Patterns" collection for elementary pianists. These would make great "first recital" pieces or rote learning pieces for your beginning students.

Solar Storm is a mysterious solo that explores the whole-tone scale, clusters, and using the damper pedal. Double Dip is a rockin' blues piece that includes a teacher duet.

Looking for pattern-based pieces for your more advanced students? Check out the whole "Perfect Patterns" series HERE!

I have just added 2 new selections to my Free Stuff page that I am excited to share with you today: two free video game themes that are sure to be a hit with your students!

Click on the photos below to access these free pieces.

"Korobeiniki" is a traditional Russian folk song that became famous when it was used in the video game "Tetris." This primer-level arrangement is perfect for your beginner video game fans!

You can also purchase a longer version of this primer-level piece that includes a teacher duet HERE.

If you have gamers in your studio, you have probably heard of "Cuphead." This popular video game is inspired by cartoons from the 1930s and has a soundtrack full of ragtime and big band sounds.

My arrangement of the opening theme from the game is now available as a free download exclusively at Musicnotes! Your late elementary and early intermediate students will enjoy this fun, jazzy arrangement.

If you enjoy these free pieces, don't forget to check out my many other video game arrangements at a variety of levels HERE!

Happy March! If you are looking for ways to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day in your studio this month, give this traditional Irish song a whirl!

This song focuses on several important concepts for elementary and late elementary students: root position chords, playing in 3/4 time, and counting syncopated rhythms.

You can also use this song as a transposing challenge for your more advanced students, or as an opportunity to experiment with different accompaniment patterns in the left hand.
