Fur Elise Sheet MusicPart I Why Fur Elise sheet music? This classical music (part 1) is the perfect piece for students who've just mastered coordination of right hand melody against left hand broken chords.
Of course, the student needs to be capable of reaching an octave, and they need to understand -- or be very familiar with -- basic chord structure. They also need to be able to read notes from below the bass staff to the top of the treble staff. But if they are comfortable with these things, then there are some features about Fur Elise -- the original version! -- that make it easy to play. (Remember, I'm talking about Part I only. What comes after Part I is way too hard for beginners.) First, the hands take turns! The RH begins its sinuous melody, and on the last note of the phrase, the LH chimes in and takes over. Right hand, then left hand. Then right hand again. Second, the patterns of the LH are repeatable and predictable. The i and V chords of Am in an octave stretch, then an octave plus a third, back to an octave stretch. Repeat. On page 2, move briefly to the key of C I and V chords using the same octave stretch and octave plus a third, then back to the i and V chords of Am again. Easy. Third, this is a very familiar piece of classical music, one your student has almost surely heard before, and they will likely be very excited to learn it.
