These dinosaur song lyrics were written at the request of another piano teacher. His plea seemed irresistible to me.
I thought about it for about half a day. A dinosaur song... T-rex hunting... and EATING?
No, in the end I couldn't go there! Hunting, yes. Eating, NO. Not my style.
But in the end, I came up with dinosaur song for kids that is quite the ear worm!
Please scroll down the page for the download links.
If you examine the sheet music closely, you'll see this song is made up of mostly "A" and "C". Over and over. And over!
So far, my students don't seem to mind that! (I haven't heard back yet from the other teacher with the 6-year-old student... he promised me that he is reading notes!)
Page two, line two, the melody descends down to D below Middle C. The notes aren't hard, but the fingering IS HARD. And there are SHARPS.
Then - OH NO - the right hand has to change fingering. And descend into the bass clef. Sorry.
Please scroll down the page for the download links.
The original version has a twisty bit of right hand melody that I decided was just too much to ask of a beginner, so I changed that. But you can see it below:
The part of the dinosaur song lyrics "All the prey got a-way, JUMPED & RAN!" is where the different notes are seen. The melody is more satisfying in the original, so if you don't mind working with your student on that part, go for it!
I concede that the left hand "5-4-3, 4-3-2" fingering is quite difficult for a beginner. However, in the process of learning the melody, this fingering is useful for locating the notes, and can be discarded along the way!
