A sense of excitement, urgency, and the fun of syncopation is alive in Fiery Red, one of the newest Color Pieces in the Rote and Reading® series. All of the color pieces are wonderful for teens and adults, as well as kids. The fiery nature is particularly impressive and fun to play for all ages!

This rote piano piece is based on catchy patterns and can be taught and learned easily by rote, reading or Rote and Reading®.

What level is Fiery Red?

Fiery Red is a late elementary piano solo written in A minor. The smallest note value is an eighth note. The piece can be taught by rote, reading, or a combination of both. There are some cluster chords and an exciting array of dynamics and articulations.

The left hand plays only octaves throughout the solo and gives the piece an added depth and maturity level! Fiery Red is fantastic practice for students learning to play octaves, staccato and legato, and syncopated rhythms like a dotted quarter and eighth note with a fast tempo. The B section contains pedaling (all notated) and is simple for students to execute.

Bonus recording included!

Fiery Red comes with a bonus mp3 recording performed by Wendy Stevens. You are permitted to send this example performance track to your students to help them learn the piece.

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!
