Morning on the Mountain

Elizabeth Swift

A grand piece for elementary level students. With just 2 different hand positions at different octaves on the piano, this majestic sounding piece can also be taught by rote. Beginning pedal, arm weight, sophisticated sounding with c and d tonal centers. Great recital choice for a level 1 pianist. Studio License. A Group 2 Beginner Selection.

This is a perfect piece to help your students begin working on this technique because it is fairly simple, easy to get off the page, and rewarding to hear as the notes ring with the help of the damper pedal. Your students will enjoy the big sounds they'll be making!
