2nd and 3rd year piano students get to have fun with Halloween music, and prepare to play classical repertoire. This piece introduces techniques used by Dmitri Kabelevsky in his well-known "Toccatina". Kabelevsky's Toccatina exploits 1st inversion triads, and this piece creates the perfect opportunity to introduce the concept of triads and triad inversions. As a teacher, I propose that successful performance of triad inversions is likely the difference between students who will succeed and those who won't. These individual songs are also available in collections:Best Halloween Piano Collection for First Year StudentsBest Halloween Piano Collection for Second (and 3rd) Year StudentsBest Halloween Piano Collection COMPLETE for First, Second (and 3rd) Year Students Traditional piano pedagogy allows the possibility of playing the correct notes, but with incorrect fingering. The best piano teachers have never allowed this, but in many cases, so much time is wasted discussing and fixing these problems that all enthusiasm and momentum is lost for the student. What's needed is a new symbol that communicates clearly and immediately to the student what is being demanded by the music: not just notes, but also fingering. Elementary students who grow with the "V" system of hand positions move more quickly through their repertoire, because they don't waste as much time "fixing" problems, or worse, arguing with their teachers about why an awkward fingering is not allowed, even when they have correctly "figured out" the correct notes.
