This post includes lesson plans for "Ferris Wheel" in Piano Adventures 1.
Music Sample
Watch the video of Ferris Wheel as you tap “Down, up, up” to the beat. When does he lift his wrist?
Theory
Watch up to 2:15 of "What do the pedals on the piano do?" to learn more about the damper pedal.
Improvisation
Improv Activity 1:
Watch Create First 1 Leaving the Harbor Solo and Duet Videos. Can you hear the blended sound created by the damper pedal and the ¾ Time dance-like feel? Improvise your own song in ¾ Time on the black keys and add some pedal.
Improv Activity 2:
“Borrow” the 3/4 Rhythm patterns of "Ferris Wheel" (LB 12) and create your own melodies stepping up and down the black keys as you chant the words to the song.
Supplementary Music
Jack and the Beanstalk - Piano Adventures 1 Performance
