Pictures from the past
I love the images of another time which the lyrics of this song bring to mind... Grandmother's cap... the horse and sleigh... trot fast, my dapple-gray! I notice that my students like them too.
An arrangement for early beginners
Here is the easiest version of this pretty piece - a setting at Middle C position, the notes that beginning piano players are focusing on the first year or two of learning to read music. This is the arrangement played by my student in the video above.
Please scroll down the page for the download links.
The arrangement above is PRETTY INTUITIVE, and easy. The lyrics are contagious!
A flowing secondo arrangement
Despite sounding pretty, this accompaniment to the melody is full of energy! This is what I am playing as I accompany my student, in the video above.
Please scroll down the page for the download links.
In the key of C as well
Here is the very same shared-hands arrangement of the melody as above in G, except in the key of C. Since it doesn't dip below Middle C, it is a better key for kids to sing in. However, it will require a bit of thinking outside the box! This version needs some note deciphering.
Please scroll down the page for the download links.
