The Snake Charmer for Beginner Piano

You may recognize the Snake Charmer from your school days. Sometimes it's called "Harem Dance." The minor melody is mysterious and scary-sounding...one reason kids love this song!


Because this piece is such great music, but I didn't like the dumb words I remembered singing as a kid, I invented new words for the melody that seem to go with its title... I find that my students enjoy songs more, and learn them faster, if they have compelling words or a story. I think words help them travel in their imaginations when they are making music.

What makes Snake Charmer different from similar pieces set around Middle C are the "skips" or intervals of thirds. For beginners, these take concentration to spot. Before they attempt this piece, I like to know that my students can easily read all the lines in Snakes Go for a Walk.

Have fun with Snake Charmer.
