“Lullaby Of The Snow Fairies” is a soothing, lyrical intermediate piece.  Imagine going for a moonlit walk. As fluffy snowflakes dance down from the sky, your stress melts away and it becomes a moment when anything is possible.

Students will explore variations on a musical palindrome that embraces a peaceful moment outside of time.  For students who love “The Feather Theme” from Forrest Gump, they will delight in playing a variation of the accompaniment pattern.
