2016 Easy Piano Contest Entry
VIVA LA VIDA. As far as I'm concerned, this is the most important piano piece a young student can play from the popular music category, that is. 8 pages can be presented in less than one lesson (because the LH is basically only one line of music), and makes a great assignment for the week.
Technical solutions (hand positions and finger numbers) are presented here, making this a "how to play" edition for this subline music.
Easy key (one flat, instead of the original F minor/Ab Major), plus hand positions and finger numbers make this song accessible to even the most resistant piano students. And, for the best student, it's a well-deserved reward.
This arrangement doesn't shy away from anything, including Chris Martin's hemiola rhythmic phrasing in the verses.
Because it is a long song, there is no need for complicated assignments: "Just play the piece once through" is all you need, and they'll be at it for half an hour! Who wins in that scenario? Everybody--Good luck!
scottnotes/V are not just sheet music, they are complete self-contained LESSON PLANS for the piano teacher.
Give it a try, give yourself a break, and give your student a shot at success.
HAND POSITIONS: v means "one skipped key between thumb and 2"
TRIAD INVERSION SYMBOLS: Three part symbol revolutionizes the approach to this vexing issue (same for either hand).
For example: Fv2 for the Right Hand
-F means F Position (lowest finger on F)
-v means "one skipped key between thumb and 2"
-2 is the finger/note to play in the middle. (Top and bottom notes/fingers 1 and 5 are easy to understand, and not a problem.)
