What happens when the Little Fuzzies go to the amusement park? They run into a Cotton Candy (hair) Crisis! The notes in this hilarious black-key piece sound like some of the rides at an amusement park, and there’s even a familiar tune placed into the piece – can you figure out what it is?
What Level is Cotton Candy Crisis?
Cotton Candy Crisis is an early elementary played primarily on the black keys. A hand position is pictured and students read by finger number and direction of notes. The smallest note value is the quarter note. No pedaling is required. The largest interval is a fifth. The piece is carefully edited with pedagogical fingering and articulations, making this an excellent teaching or recital piece!
Bonus mp3 and QR Code for students
Cotton Candy Crisis includes a bonus mp3 of this performance with your purchase. You may send this mp3 to your student to help them learn the piece and remember how it sounds.
Plus, a QR code is included on the first page of the PDF (not pictured in the sample) so students can scan the code and it will take them directly to the performance recording of the piece. This can help them be inspired and learn the piece even more effectively without you having to send the mp3 to them!

BJ –
My students are so excited about this piece! One student even went home and created her own cotton candy out of cotton stuffing and added fuzzies to it. Highly recommend!
Lori –
My first-year students love this piece! Many of them that are realizing the challenges of reading on the music staff were so delighted to have a mostly black key piece again. And all of them easily adapted to the inclusion of the two white keys in the right hand part. Young students love the Little Fuzzy series and the inclusion of these beginning pieces is such a treat. I’d love to see even more in the collection!
