Quick Fix Easter Shark Song For Level 1B Students

Last summer we shared a series of “Quick Fix Piano Solos”. Each fun tune focused on a technical skill that is a stumbling block for many students.

As we racked our brains for this week’s giveaway, we decided to add an Easter tune to this popular series of posts.

Of course, if you know us, a regular old Easter tune is not what you’re going to get 🙂

With an Easter Shark as its main character, your students will have a blast reinforcing crescendos and diminuendos with today’s Quick Fix Easter Piano Solo.

Cresecendos, Diminuendos, And Other Grand Staff Decorations

If we want children to stick with piano lessons, then they have to enjoy the music they are making.

And the difference between enjoyable music and boring music lies between the treble staff and the bass staff.

As composers, the melodies we painstakingly construct depend heavily upon the dynamics. In fact, a song played without its dynamics is not the same song.

So, it is crucially important that kids learn so much more than reading notes and rhythm.

In today’s Quick Fix Easter Piano Solo, crescendos and diminuendos play an important role in the intro and outro.

This defined area allows students to focus on the skill, take a breather in the main body of the piece, and then return to the skill.
