Hamsters are the key to making piano students happy. These adorable little critters consume the dreams of five, six, and seven-year-olds.
Chances are high that any child that walks through your studio door either has a hamster, has had a hamster, or wants a hamster!
Needless to say, it was about time Andrea and I composed some happy hamster music!
In today’s post, we are sharing an adorable, hamster-themed composing activity for students who are beginning mid-primer piano repertoire.
But that’s not all.
For the last few months, teachers have been begging us to release a V. U. Level E book for primer students playing in middle C position.
Well, we’re going to make some dreams come true 🙂
Next week, teachers will be thrilled to know that a V. U. Level E book will be released, and students will be thrilled to know that the book is about an adorable (albeit a tad grumpy) hamster named Hildegard.
First, Let’s Talk About Next Week’s Book Release
Today’s hamster-themed composing activity is available to download at the bottom of the post.
But first… are you ready for another book from Andrea And Trevor Dow’s Very Useful Piano Library?!
Next week we are releasing Hildegard Needs A Happy Tune, V. U. Level E.
This laugh-out-loud resource follows the hilarious adventures of a bored little hamster and her quest to order up some excitement!
Composed for students beginning mid-primer piano repertoire, Hildegard Needs A Happy Tune is packed with piano pieces and activities that reinforce playing in middle C position.
Inside this V.U. Level E book you will discover 7 piano solos, a teacher-student duet, warm-up exercises, note reading games, sight-reading and rhythm activities, a practice tracker, and a certificate.
Be sure to look for Hildegard Needs A Happy Tune next week on Amazon.
