If you have been following my blog, you know about my new series of short piano teaching pieces that feature letters of the alphabet for students who need more music than is in their method books. Click on the links to read about E is for Elephant, The Doughnut Mystery, Pat the Cat’s Patting Song, and Frogs Wearing Flip Flops. You can use the Search and Find games, which feature the same animals, to reinforce the note names.
Do you find yourself frequently crossing out finger numbers? I plan to use this piece with the right hand thumb on G. However, instead of writing in the fingering, I added a small box instead for you to write in your own fingering.
My preschool student thought this was very much like the Frog Flip Flop song, but in a good way. It gave him some security, and I was happy he could sight read it. Young children like to do the same things over and over, and older children like variety.
