"Bunny Hop": An Easy Piano Solo for Beginner Piano Students

7/24/2020

I wrote this cute little bunny song for one of my beginner piano students who started learning the staff a few weeks before our recital.

I've found that giving young students a prereading piece after they have started reading on the grand staff can be demoralizing, but it's quite difficult to find recital worthy music that has only two notes (and isn't a total snooze!).

This student loves to explore high and low sounds on the piano and she also loves bunnies.

So I give you "Bunny Hop"!

This piece has rests and octave leaps that can be taught by rote while your student reads the rest of the piece with their new found note reading skills.

I hope your students enjoy it as much as mine!

This song is free on my Teacher Pay Teachers store for a limited time.

Over the past several weeks, I've been sharing several resources I've created and used in my music studio as we transition to online music lessons.

In March, I shared 11 benefits of online music lessons. Last week were student and parent guides to online lessons.

In today's post, I'm be sharing dynamics practice sheets.

These fun llama-themed sheets - from my "Llama Hear Ya Play!" series - will help your students understand reading and playing with dynamics on the piano!

The theory sheets can be emailed to your students or printed and put into their piano practice packets!

Using the packets
There are 3 versions of the dynamics practice sheets: Pre-Reading, Beginner, and Elementary.

Each packet has an informational page that introduces the dynamics forte & piano, their definitions, and a description of how to play them properly on the piano. The next page provides your students the opportunity to practice these dynamics with easy to read and play exercises.

Packets can be used as an introduction to dynamics in your students' lessons or you can send it to your students as a fun supplement to their daily practice routine.

Download includes:
  • Piano & Forte definitions
  • Writing Piano & Forte
  • Playing exercises
  • Answer Key
  • 3 color options including B&W
  • Full color page & printer friendly versions
