“Puppy In The Park” is a playful adventure for beginner piano students that helps them recognize patterns. Easy to teach by rote or introduce half steps using accidentals!
“Puppy In The Park” Level:
“Puppy In The Park” is an early elementary rote or elementary reading-level piano solo. The patterns are repeated using different dynamics or with slight modifications.
- Mode: G Major (written as accidentals)
- Time Signature: 4/4
- Concepts: half steps using chromatic patterns, dotted quarter-eighth note rhythm patterns, some hands together
Chromatic sections are written as using only finger 2 to play. However, the “Make This Your Own” section suggests experimenting with typical chromatic finger numbers 1 and 3. This allows students with a greater range of dexterity to play this piece.
Finger numbers are written in to start and accidentals are written in. The most difficult rhythm is the dotted quarter-eighth note rhythm. However, these are followed by half notes to help students reset.
“Puppy In The Park” Bonus:
All sheet music comes with original cover art.
“Puppy In The Park” comes with “make it your own” suggestions for students to experiment with developing their own voice.
More About “The First Spring”:

These pieces explore a variety of concepts and several of the pieces are showstoppers for Spring recitals letting beginners of all ages feel like their pieces compare to much more advanced students.

- Jake Meets The Jack Rabbit: Elementary level piece about an unlikely (possible) friendship.
- The Rabbit In The Garden: Early elementary piece in 2/4 that mimics a cute rabbit in the garden.
- Time Of Renewal: Early elementary rote piece that explores 4th intervals. Fantastic as an impressive duet recital piece for this level.
