But the great thing for you as the teacher is the opportunity to present “Escape in Donegal Castle in both a 6/8 meter OR a 3/4 meter.
If you order the studio license, you get an additional mid-elementary version for one price! This version is notated in simple triple meter for those students whose fingers can play this piece, but whose minds are scared by the 6/8 meter.

I love this new easy student-motivating piece of yours! Purchased studio license and started my kids yesterday on it.

I just shared this with 2 students that are waiting to be picked up and they said: “That’s the best song I have ever heard!”

My freshman high schooler was ready to quit taking piano lessons, and he loved this piece. He learned it in one week and his mother told me that he plays the piano so much now, she has thought about telling him not to play so much!

“Escape from Donegal Castle” has been a lifesaver. I assigned it to a 15 year old boy two weeks ago who had not practiced in at least six months. I assigned that and a short Bartok piece. I had an e-mail from his mother that he had already practiced 45 minutes the evening after his lesson!

I love that Donegal Castle is written out in both simple and compound meter. It has been a wonderful teaching tool to let students learn the “easy” version, then whip out the 6/8 version, and realize they can play it; a phenomenal exercise not only in ear training and theory, but also a boost for students who look at a piece and assume it’s just TOO HARD! I also appreciate that part of the piece is written in notes easily recognizable to late elementary students, with other sections that force some out of their comfort zones, reading different notes.
Thank you again, Wendy!

Wendy, the students loved working on this new piece before we performed at an assisted living facility March 18th. The residents tapped their toes and clapped to the rhythm with us and the kids said the piece makes them want to do some river dance steps. The piece does look intimidating to those moving into intermediate, but you do an outstanding job of using simple and compound rhythms, easy note reading mixed with more difficult so it is more doable for younger students. Bold Escape and Distant Blue are pieces that have helped students learn to create great tone quality by dropping boldly into forte notes or gently into those mysterious passages. They love being more musical!!

My students are so excited to play this piece and the others I purchased and are practicing hard which pleases me. This is an exceptional piece and fun to play. I rate it a 5. Thanks for your help in making my students want to practice.
