Winter At The Cabin Level:
“Winter At The Cabin” is a late intermediate piano solo that is perfect for teen to adult students. While this piece is in 6/8 time one of the left-hand accompaniment patterns follows a 4-2 rhythm segmentation while the right-hand follows more typical rhythms for this time signature. This creates a light-hearted, slightly syncopated feel to the section. The left-hand switches clefs mid-song to create a whimsical mood.
- Mode: D Major (key signature)
- Time Signature: 6/8
- Concepts: Independent rhythms in each hand, option to swing eighth notes, clef change mid-song, some 4-note chords in one hand, 3+ ledger lines
Your students are encouraged to try playing this piece as written and swinging the eighth notes. This changes the mood slightly but also can create a fun rhythmical challenge partway through the song.
Winter At The Cabin Bonus:
All sheet music comes with original cover art. “Winter At The Cabin” comes with “make it your own” tips for students to master the piece.
