What Level is Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho?
Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho is an elementary piece written in A minor. The G# accidental is notated throughout the piece. Helpful fingerings are included throughout. This piece is played in multiple registers, but with 8va/8vb so students are reading at an elementary level on the staff.
The smallest note value is a quarter note, and there is no pedaling. Hand position does not change during the piece, making the jumps to a new register easier for elementary students. There are many accents and staccatos notated, always in places that make sense and feel natural.
