Need real easy piece.
on: May 24, 2004, 06:41:23 PM
Here it is. The blind teaching the Blind. (LOL)

I am looking for a piece for an Adult beginner. The lists I have are already to difficult.

This is a 2 month beginner, who is learning well and this would be her first piece.

-It needs to be short.
-It needs to be real easy by this boards standards. Hopefully with CGF chords in it if possible.
-It must be available on the net. (free or in digital format where I can pay if need be.)
-I need to be able to have a Midi or mg3 file so I can here it played.

I am thinking of having her start with Bach Minuet in G, but I know this one by heart and would rather have something new and fresh for me as for her.

Thks in advance

I suggest a simplified version (Maybe faber and faber..) of Pachelbel's Canon.  It is a rewarding piece to start with- easy to learn, easy to play.  It's a great piece as an introduction to the chords.  Why do you need to do all the computer mumbo-jumbo?  Buy a cheap book from a music store, or ask the student to buy it.  And you dont need to hear it played...maybe it would be great if the student heard an orchestral version,to inspire them.

Scarlatti Sonata K32 – Just one page long, technically unchallenging and a hauntingly beautiful piece. Listen to it here:

Best wishes,
Bernhard.
