Please scroll down the page for the download links. This newest easy arrangement, above, was made for my 6-year-old granddaughter, who has just started playing in the last few weeks, and wants to play everything that will fit into 5 fingers! She also likes to sing as she plays, so I added verse one of the hymn in English. Here are several easy musi...
Those notes with letters inside the headsare called "AlphaNotes", and they give new piano students COURAGE. Is this a crutch? No, a tool.Pay attention to your student, and you will know when it is time to pull off the "training wheels"! I call arrangements with JUST A FEW lettered notes "helper" versions.
After finding the starting notes, this song is almost on autopilot, if your student knows the melody at all. For the most part, reading "Ode to Joy" is like following Wormies or Snakes, two beginning note-reading sheets! It is just possible your student has heard the song sungby a quartet at the end of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. However it may be,...
Please scroll down the page for the download links. Observe the dotted rhythm! See the eighth notes in line three! And eventually, beginners will play it like that. And if my beginners add that rhythm all on their own, I leave it be. As for left hand, that equals "5, 1, 5, 1, 5, 1, 5, 1, CHORD!"
Please scroll down the page for the download links. If they automatically play the end of lines one, two, and four with the dotted quarter note rhythm, fine. I don't try to stop that. With only minimal fingering, kids read this song just like "Snakes," except I warn them that there are some skips hiding in some of the measures. Sometimes we go look...
Another change I have made is to turn the melody UPat the end of line 3 instead of down, in order to contain the melody within one hand. That way, we can add chords in a few weeks or months when the melody is very strong. With chords, Ode to Joy can be dressed up for a duet, or returned to later, when they have gained more skill and their hands are...
What will those chords look like, for your beginners? I suggest just a single bass note.Yes, tell them it's like a bass guitar. Single note C, then G, then C... I may even demonstrate by using my pointer finger only, as unpianistic as that may be! It is slow, but completely understandable. When should you start adding chords?As I said, not until th...
