My Laughing Chimpanzee	A1	♫
Although it is a piece for beginners, it is well-made. There is no change in hand position. The left hand plays only G except for the final note. It will end well if you feel the upbeat well and clearly distinguish between staccato and slur. (Playing time: 1”00)

Owl in the Night	A1
It’s a simple but good piece with a nice atmosphere. No position changes. Be careful as there are frequent accidentals.I think it’s no problem to just remember the location of the keys and play. Recommended for children who like mysterious pieces or pieces that are a little more mature.

My Frog	A2

Rainbow Fish	A2
This is a beautiful piece with a beautiful blend of sounds. The sound patterns are limited, so I don’t think it’s that difficult to play, but using the pedal is essential. The pedal is pressed down the whole time, so even small children who have no experience with pedals may be able to play it without any problems.

Rockin’ Raccoon	A2

Waltz for the Chicks	A2

The Millennium Bean Bag Zoo	A2

The Bean Bag Bull	B1	♫
It’s flashy and good. There are few chords, but the rhythm is clear, so it’s cool to play. If you play the rests properly, the tango rhythm stands out and you can play it wonderfully. (Playing time:1”10)

Waddle, Waddle	B1

I’m a Gorilla	A2	♫
The double fifth notes in the left hand express a wild atmosphere that makes you feel like it’s “gorilla background music.” The left hand pattern is simple, so it’s easy to play. This piece can also be used to learn basic accompaniment patterns. [31] ~ Make sure to crescendo towards the final roar. (Playing time:1”10)

Mystical, Magical Unicorn	B1
Precise pedaling is required.

Snake Charmer	B1

Jungle Fever	B1
This is a cool piece! Play with your left hand as if you were strumming a guitar. Make sure to play the long notes loudly. [9]-[15] Although it is written “like a rap song,” but sing this part in English so that the children can get a feel for the rhythm of the words. Your left and right hands alternate, but try to play the whole phrase in one breath.
