Misuki loved to beg for food at the table. “Will Samba for Food”, an elementary piece, is a nod to the samba and evokes Misuki sashaying by the table. But, when food drops she quickly runs over and yips. She especially loved mealtimes when our twins were toddlers as they tended to drop food.
Will Samba for Food Level:
“Will Samba for Food” is an elementary-level piano solo. The simplified rhythms give piano players an introduction to Latin rhythms in a level-appropriate way.
- Mode: D major (accidentals)
- Time Signature: 4/4
- Concepts: sharps, swing eighth notes, staccato, tied notes, early syncopated rhythms, ledger notes, chord bridges
The rhythms in “Will Samba for Food” are a nod to the samba. Rhythms are augmented and simplified to create a Latin-esque feel without the complex rhythms typical to the genre. To create a small syncopated feel, an eighth note is tied to a half note. The smallest note is an eighth note.
The ledger notes are marked as alpha notes and written to visually show the movement of the sequence pattern. The single-line melody makes it easier for players at this level to manage the rhythm and chord bridges in the left hand.
Will Samba for Food Bonus:
All sheet music comes with original cover art. “Will Samba for Food” comes with composer notes that include mastery tips and “make it your own” suggestions to develop an individual interpretation.
More About “Misuki – La Princesa” Collection:
“Will Samba for Food” is part of the “Misuki – La Princesa” for elementary-level students who love a good story behind the music.
These are our favourite memories of Misuki and range from tempting her to enter couch cushion forts, zoomies (supersonic runs), and her cute antics while begging for food. Every piece has a fourth interval that represents her “yip” and you will hear her love of life and family in each piece.
Included in the “Misuki – La Princesa” collection are:
