Beginner piano players of all ages will love the reaction they get when playing this arrangement. It's an impressive-sounding piece that makes beginner students sound more advanced, and audiences love it!

The piece itself is straightforward and fairly simple to learn, and only requires basic reading and note-counting skills.

It's in the key of D minor (like the key of F – all B's are flat) but there are no B's played, so the key signature isn't challenging.

The song includes:

• Simple 1/8 notes (easy to count)

• Hand positions that start out in D minor with some small changes along the way

• Simple hand movement that can be mastered by beginners

• Large finger numbers that are clearly marked

• A bit of strategically placed staccato for just the right sound

• Just a few accidentals (sharps)

Tips:

- Don't skimp on the counting! Be sure to count out loud using eighth-note counting (1 & 2 &...) as you're beginning the piece. It's worth the patience because it will come out sounding perfect if you follow your practice steps!

- Follow the finger numbers carefully because it will make the song easier to play when you're ready to go fast
