Piano Pronto Movement 2: #1 Night Music and Sixteenth Notes

This post includes piano activities for A Little Night Music in Piano Pronto Movement 2



Music Samples

Listen to Classics for Kids Mozart or Beethoven’s Wig “Please Don’t Play Violin at Night”

Write in the beats for each pronto prep measure and count aloud as you play.



Theory

Watch the Eighth Note Triplets Thinking Theory  Video

Color and Block the chords in the first lines p 3-4*
Can you shape the melody with dynamics?

Lead Sheets

You can play a simplified hymn "lead sheet style" by using the chord symbols as a guide and substituting the left-hand notes for simpler chord roots.

Watch this sample video to see a variety of left-hand chord patterns played in "Count Your Blessings", lead sheet style.

Supplementary Music

This video performance of the Tetris Theme by Sonya Belousova is more difficult than the lead sheet, but is definitely fun to watch!
