While Sam had his soft, cuddly side, he was also a great hunter.  Imagine the spies from 60’s movies.  They would creep down corridors and leap onto the bad guys.  Much like Sam would do as he hunted.  Plus, Sam had a cool factor that any of those spies would be envious of.

This piece is unique because you get both studio-licensed versions of the piece automatically.  An elementary level for strictly rote teaching.  Plus an intermediate level version that could combine rote and note reading teaching.

For each level/version of the song there are additional bonuses.  To help students, I’ve included the story, plus practice and performance tips.

I’m Sam, Elite Mouse Hunter Level:

“I’m Sam, Elite Mouse Hunter” is a dual-level piano solo.  The elementary, rote version is perfect for beginner students.  And, the intermediate version is great as a quick win, hybrid rote and note-reading piece.

• Mode: C Major (accidentals written in)
• Time Signature: 4/4
• Rote Level Concepts: dotted eighth/sixteenth note rhythms, tied notes, syncopation, accents, chromatic scale, flats, sharps, fermata, echo dynamics
• Intermediate Level Concepts: chord bridge accompaniment pattern, shifting hand position, dotted eighth/sixteenth note rhythms, tied notes, syncopation, accents, chromatic scale, flats, sharps, fermata, echo dynamics, enclosed repeat signs

While the concepts for the rote level look hard, they can be taught to absolute beginners who have a decent ear for music.  The initial measure will take about 1 week of practice and the chromatic section will take about 1 more week.  However, once these are under your student’s fingers, the rest of the song comes together quickly.

Your students will love the “James Bond” chord at the end of the song!
