“Our Seasons of Change” Level:
“Our Seasons of Change” is a peaceful, calm elementary piano solo that sounds more complex than it is to play.
- Mode: F Major and D minor (no accidentals needed)
- Time Signature: 4/4
- Concepts: tied notes, chord bridges, hand position shift when moving between Major and minor (using sequences means it is a shift not a jump), fermata, hand-over-hand arpeggio (uses text to indicate the hand)
Starting finger numbers are included as well as circled finger numbers to indicate hand position changes. This piece has a single-line melody with chord bridges. Both hands play in the treble clef range. There are no accidentals even with the key changes.
The rhythm is augmented to create level-appropriate phrases that start mid-measure. The smallest note is a quarter note. Tied notes are either full measure or 6 beats total.
When the key changes, focusing on the sequences (same pattern, different starting note) breaks down this piece into manageable chunks.
“Our Seasons of Change” Bonus:
All sheet music comes with original cover art. “Our Seasons of Change” comes with tips for mastering the piece.
