Fuzzy Wuzzy for Beginner PianoFuzzy Wuzzy is a well-known little poem that is fun to say. Here is music for it, written by me, that you can give your students as soon as they know what a rest is, or even to teach them about rests. This simple beginner piano piece uses musical surprise, by way of quarter rests, to emphasize the riddle behind Fuzzy Wuzzy.
Fuzzy Wuzzy free piano music for beginners Fuzzy Wuzzy seems very easy, and yet it draws on a number of skills young beginning students have been building: coordination of the two hands, staff and note recognition, counting, and using rests. Plus, it makes kids feel successful and smart to be able to figure it out quickly. Recently, I handed out copies of this piece toward the end of a group keyboard class, and announced that anyone who could figure it out and play it correctly without any help from me would get one Jolly Rancher candy. That was a fun and motivating way to wrap up the hour! Kids seem to remember a thing better when they struggle through it themselves. I don't spend a lot of time on little pieces like this, but they are fun and quick for students who can read them at once and thereby gauge how much progress they have made since they started, and they are also useful for very young pianists who are still challenged by the location of B and Middle C.
