Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy for Early Beginner Piano
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy is one of the most famous music selections from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker ballet.
However, the incredibly beautiful Nutcracker Suite is intricate, complex, and difficult to simplify. Often, a so-called beginner piano arrangement of Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy is better described as late beginner to early intermediate.
With years of experience making countless simplified piano arrangements, I've made for you a brand-new Nutcracker Christmas arrangement for easy piano.
This Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy beginner piano version hits the sweet spot (pun intended) with the perfect amount of level-appropriate musical complexity for a Nutcracker arrangement for early to mid beginner piano. Look and listen below:
