Practice playing crescendo and decrescendo then add the left hand. 2) Allow the student to play the right-hand melody with appropriateshading and breathing. Introduce legato pedaling. Teach following the line. 3) Point out how the left hand mimics the chords in the right hand hand-over-hand. Have the student practice the 3-note slurs in the right hand for a 'loud-soft-soft' type of sound. Work to make a distinction between f and mf. Have the student pedal with the harmonic changes.

Early Elementary Level-Description: A short beginning piece that has several teaching ideas. It begins in middle-C position and the right-hand position changes at m. 9. Purpose: Introduces various touches dynamic contrasts 8va accents a touch of pedal at the end and a glissando for fun Suggestions for Instruction: Have the student first practice bouncing a single staccato note then play the notes on the page in the same manner. Practice a 5-finger legato then play those notes on the page. See if the student can play two notes: one note mf and the other f and hear a difference. It's much easier to make a difference between f and p. Work on contrasting two softs also (mm. 27-28). Key: C Major

Mid-Elementary Level-Description: It is in A B A form with a coda. The song has direct dynamic contrasts and also shading (crescendo- decrescendo). It is meant to be played in a 'lively' tempo that the student can master. Purpose: It's an exercise for a legato right hand accompanied by a detached left hand. The student learns to 'roll off' staccato at the ends of slurs gently without 'punching' them. The song also requires the student to count the eighth rests in mm. 18-19 22-23 in order to give 'oomph' to the following accented quarter notes. Suggestions for Instruction: Have the student say Giddy-up giddy-up. The sound of the words gives a feeling for the rhythm of two eighths and aquarter note. The fingering in mm. 19-20 and 23-24 is important in order to execute slurs properly. Try the right hand alone (mm. 4-8 11-12) for shading with the crescendos and decrescendos. Key: C Major
