“Time Of Renewal” is a peaceful, atonal piece that explores the dichotomy between 3 and 4.  Your students will play 4th intervals for the melody while hearing the ‘3’ in a triple meter.  This song is a wonderful option for “May The Fourth Be With You”!

Time Of Renewal Level:

“Time Of Renewal” is a duel level piano solo.  When taught by rote (early elementary level), students focus on keyboard geography, crossing hand over hand and playing with a backing track or teacher.  When taught through note reading (early intermediate), students also explore the feel of triplets in 3/4 time while also exploring greater keyboard movement using just one hand.  The pedal is held throughout this piece for both levels to create a dreamlike mood.

• Mode: Atonal
• Time Signature: 3/4
• Early Elementary Concepts: keyboard geography, 4th intervals, crossing hand over hand
• Early Intermediate Concepts: triplets, 2 ledger lines, extensions

NOTE: The early intermediate version works well as a teacher copy of the duet.

Time Of Renewal Bonus:

All sheet music comes with original cover art.  Each level of “Time Of Renewal” also comes with “make it your own” suggestions for students to experiment with developing their own voice.

More About “The First Spring” Collection:

“Time Of Renewal” is part of “The First Spring” collection that is designed for beginner students of various ages.  Pieces are a mix of rote and level-appropriate note-reading at the elementary pieces (in one case, when taught by rote).  These pieces explore a variety of concepts and several of the pieces are showstoppers for Spring recitals letting beginners of all ages feel like their pieces compare to much more advanced students.

Pieces found in “The First Spring” collection are:

• Jake Meets The Jack Rabbit: Elementary level piece about an unlikely (possible) friendship.
• The Rabbit In The Garden: Early elementary piece in 2/4 that mimics a cute rabbit in the garden.
• Time Of Renewal: Early elementary rote piece that explores 4th intervals.  Fantastic as an impressive duet recital piece for this level.
• Puppy In The Park: A playful early elementary rote or elementary reading adventure for your beginner piano students that helps them recognize patterns.

More About the “Scenes Of Spring” Collection:

“Time Of Renewal” is also a great companion to the “Scenes Of Spring” collection that is designed for intermediate students of various ages.  Music in this collection focuses on creating a picture, moment, or mood.  With the exception of “Time Of Renewal” (a quick win piece), these are all great level-appropriate Spring recital pieces that are sure to be a hit with students and the audience alike.

Pieces found in the “Scenes Of Spring” collection are:

• The Gnome’s Starlit Dance: Late intermediate/early advanced level piece with Latin elements.
• Waltz Under The Stars: Intermediate level piece for students that love flowing, dance-like music.
• The Grand Entrance: Early intermediate piece that lends a celebratory feel to recitals.
• Light Dancing In The Dark: Late intermediate piece with a cinematic feel.
• Time Of Renewal: Early intermediate piece that explores 4th intervals.  Great as a seasonal ‘quick win’ or concept review piece for this level.

Should I print all pages for students?

Yes!  Each page is designed with students in mind.

• Page 1: Cover art
• Page 2: Description, tips for students to make it their own, terms of use
• Page 3+: Music
• Last page: Other music they may like

Students love a bit of cover art since it can help them get into the mood and story of a piece.   I’ve included ways to adapt or play with the music so students become part of the creative process.

The terms of use are there to educate students and their families about copyright law.  We know, but they may not realize what they are innocently doing may cause you to lose your studio licence.

Lastly, having other pieces at a similar level can keep students excited about what the next song in their musical journey can be!
