The “Beatles Inspired – Elementary” collection is 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.

What is a studio licence?

When you purchase the “Beatles Inspired – Elementary” collection you get a studio-licence PDF of the piece.  These piano pieces are sent digitally via an email receipt.  If you have a multi-teacher studio, please contact Rosemarie directly for additional licences.  Thanks!

A studio licence is a great way to stretch your studio repertoire budget.  Purchase music once and use for years (even decades) with students you directly teach!  For online teachers, if you share the piece during online lessons, students must print immediately and not retain an electronic copy of the piece.

For more information on your studio licence, check out the Terms and Conditions page.

When you purchase a collection you will need a program to open zip files to access all pieces within the collection.

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!
