This is a piano medley of South African folk songs “Singabahambayo” (We are marching for freedom) and “Siyahamba” (We are marching in the light of God). The LH carries the rhythmic pulse while the RH carries melody and harmony. Changing, syncopated rhythm patterns provide a rewarding challenge while celebrating the beauty of these South African melodies. A fantastic choice for a recital piece.
Accessible for smaller hands: The largest harmonic interval is a Major 6th (inverted chord triad).

This traditional Welsh lullaby arrangement for late beginner pianists is filled with gently rocking broken chords and a sweetly singing treble melody. The continually moving broken chord patterns of the LH make it easier to line up the rhythm of the RH melody. Step and skip reading with ledger lines, as well as D.S. al Coda, improve reading skills. Legato and cantabile markings encourage musical expression. This calming lullaby makes a beautiful recital piece.
“Yankee Doodle” dates back at least to the American Revolution, and the tune may be centuries older than that. The familiar tune lends itself well to teaching a new pianist dotted quarter note rhythms. This arrangement uses primary chords to support the catchy melody.
A playful-sounding French Canadian children’s song arranged in swinging sing-song style for beginner piano. The melody in this arrangement occasionally hops back and forth from right hand to left hand, just like the subject of the song (the morning lark). For non-French speakers, the lyrics speak of revenging oneself against the lark, who interrupts sleep and represents gossip, mistrust, and bad news!
This arrangement comes in two different versions: one in C Major and one transposed to G Major. The Single-User License is available in either key. The Studio License comes with both versions.
