What a fine Elementary 2 level piece! And the ability to procure a studio license and to send an MP3 of this piece is wonderful marketing. I wish all NFMC choice music were this easy to procure. Thank you so much!

This exciting, difficult sounding piece will make every late beginning/early intermediate student feel successful and inspired to practice more! My favorite literature to give students (we all keep the secret) is music that is actually easy to play, but SOUNDS difficult. The students get lots of positive feedback from family and friends, and that encourages them to work more! I especially love having the students watch/listen to Diane play her pieces – she has such enthusiasm and demonstrates the character of the piece. During these COVID times, that resource is so valuable to the students!! They can’t help but move to the music, and I’ve had more than one family MARCH happily around while the student is playing. Its joyful, fun, and makes for great teaching moments!

My son loves the speed and pacing of this piece. It makes it fun and challenging for him to practice and he’s so excited when he plays it well.
