Wooden Heart:
Wooden Heart, a free Valentine song in three keys for vocal duet or piano. This cute traditional German tune (Abschied, or Muß i denn) is great fun to sing!

This melody is very familiar, thanks to Elvis Presley. Here he is singing it in both English and German.
Though the tune is traditional (and therefore copyright-free), the English words to Wooden Heart, as sung by Elvis, are not in the public domain, so I have written my own rather corny lyrics:
Download free vocal duet in the key of C
Download Wooden Heart in the key of D
Download printable vocal duet in the key of F
This song makes an excellent vocal duet for beginning voice students who are just learning to hold a harmonizing line. Because almost all the harmony consists of parallel thirds, the bottom line is fairly easy and predictable. I have used this song successfully at a number of music recitals.
Have fun with it!

This site is FABULOUS. For all the reasons you explain on the site itself--this is exactly what piano teachers need! (I still need to go look at the vocal music). Wow. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

THIS SITE IS AMAZING!!... Thank you so much for your hard work getting these on the web, you have made
many children very happy!!
Joy:
Thank you. Just wanted to say I found your website by
mistake but what a blessing it has been. I am a missionary wife living in Spain (for many, many years) and I teach piano to Spanish children and adults. I have the barrier of very few usable things in Spanish, and can so identify with the need to write things suitable for the student...
Marta:
Thank you for the free downloads! I'm a private teacher and I teach piano and beginner voice as well. :) I've been running my studio for about a year and I've come across the same issue; I don't want my students to have to purchase an entire supplemental book for only a couple of songs. So thank you for this site...some great downloads!!
Yolanda:
I used to teach piano lessons, and then did not for a
number of years. Now, suddenly, I have 3 beginning students and I am thrilled.
I was looking for printable scales and found your wonderful website. Thank
you so much. I know this will be a big help to me and my students.
