More About “Beatles Inspired – Elementary” Collection:

“PJ’s Lullaby” is part of the “Beatles Inspired – Elementary” collection, designed for elementary-level students of all ages who appreciate music that is both accessible and sophisticated.  These pieces offer a taste of The Beatles’ iconic chord progressions and song structures, making them an exciting addition to any pianist’s repertoire.

Unique Features: 

This collection uses the foundational I, IV, and V chords in creative combinations, echoing The Beatles’ genius in creating captivating music with simple chord progressions.  This collection uniquely blends the essence of The Beatles’ music with accessible original pieces for young pianists. 

Each piece in the collection mirrors the verse-chorus-bridge structure without mimicking the sound of The Beatles, providing a fresh and creative learning experience. Almost all pieces are written in minor modes, creating an intriguing contrast to The Beatles’ typically upbeat sound. 

The collection includes pieces in 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4 time signatures.  These show how small tweaks in accompaniment patterns can create varied and dynamic musical experiences.  For example, one of the accompaniment patterns is modified for both 3/4 and 4/4, showcasing how the same patterns can sound very different.
