First Piece | A1 | ♫ |
Even beginners can play it. If you use a general text book that starts from the middle C, you’ve already learned the notes used in this piece. But in this piece, it differs from the fingering numbers commonly used in elementary textbooks. The end finger numbers such as 1 and 5, which are difficult for small children to play, are avoided.(With 2, 3, and 4 fingers at the center of your hand, you can use the weight of your hand and arm to attack keys and it’s easy to control.) |
First Etude | A2 | ♫ |
Since you have to play using the hand crossing, it is necessary to move the hands position accurately. I think it’s not suitable for beginners because you can’t play it unless you have a little large hand. |
A Low Song | A2 | ♫ |
[7]〜 The right and left hand slurs are out of alignment, so not to play with strange accents. If the left and right hands are not independent, it cannot be played beautifully. |
The Break | A2 | ♫ |
It’s a fun piece. Play slurs and staccatos clearly. Distinguish between slurs that span two eighth notes and those that span four. There is no part of playing with both hands, but there are many position changes. |
First Waltz | A2 | ♫ |
It’s nice to have sorrow in the air. Play the 2nd and 3rd beats of the right hand lightly and with the same length. [13]〜 There are strange notes. Pay attention to accidentals. |
Jumping Champion | A2 | ♫ |
Use your arm to play with the weight on the 3rd finger. Play with f but relax. For that purpose, it is necessary to accurately move the position. [10]-[13]The explanation says to memorize the position without fail, but I think that for beginners like this, it would be fine to write down the note names on the ledger lines… |
Light And Shade | A2 | ♫ |
Major part in the first half: light, Minor part in the second half: shadow…the same melody is clearly contrasted. Since it is divided into f and p, let’s simply play the difference between major and minor keys. |
A Little Hedgehog | A2 | ♫ |
The left and right hands approach as if the hedgehog’s hooks are touching or not, as if they are playing close to each other. When you play the first beat, enjoy the interesting layering of notes(the interval is second). |
Song At The Octave | A2 | ♫ |
Let’s make the unison sound beautiful. It’s good to try various things to find out what kind of volume balance you should play. Gradually one phrase gets longer and goes to the climax. I want to play with a sense of tension. |
The Playful Girl | A2 | ♫ |
Play slurs accurately, rhythmically and clearly. Be careful not to overlap your hands, so that you can quickly dodge your hands after playing. |
Cry-Baby | A2 | ♫ |
A slur that spans two notes (like “sigh” form) expresses the appearance of sobbing and sobbing. The movement of the wrist and arm becomes downward at the first note and upward at the second note. It’s a basic way to play slurs, so be aware of your hand and arm movements when practicing. If your child is too young to use pedal yet, you don’t have to use it. Although it will be a minus in terms of the atmosphere of the work, it will be a practice of how to use your body when playing slurs. |
