Whither the Weather contains three short piano solos that are mature sounding. These pieces are excellent for all ages including older beginners like teens and adults.
The shorter piece format allows students time to focus on details like articulation and phrases. Plus, learning the piece more quickly is much more motivating for all ages of students – especially older beginners with little time.
Included are these one-page pieces:
- Biting Cold
- Rain Will Fall
- Silver Lining
What Level is Whither the Weather?
The pieces in Whither the Weather are mid elementary. They are all in C position. One piece is excellent for helping students become comfortable moving “out of position” as it move them slowly and only one measure at a time. None of the pieces require pedaling. All of the pieces are carefully articulated and fingered to help students play musically and to help them learn the piece quickly.
What are Short Sheets®?
Short Sheets® are collections of 3 one page pieces to help motivate your busy students who need to learn music quickly. These sets of one pages pieces (including this Whither the Weather collection) are excellent for:
- Online lessons (they are easy to teach)
- Summer lessons (they are fun and don’t take as much time to learn
- Sight reading
- Students with short attention spans,
- Young students who are afraid of lengthy pieces (you’d be surprised at how many of your student balk at 2 page pieces)
- Busy students (isn’t that all students these days?)
- Students who want to learn an awesome piece of music quickly
And as a teacher, you’ll love Short Sheets® because you know that the more music students learn, the better their sight-reading skills!
Are there bonuses to Whither the Weather?
Yes, even though the price of these 3 pieces is incredibly low (you can use these over and over again with any student you directly teach) we still are including bonus mp3 performances of the Space Adventures pieces with your purchase. You are permitted to send these example performance tracks to your students to help them learn the piece.
What is the Studio License?
Whither the Weather is delivered digitally (through your email receipt) and is studio licensed. This means that you can print and use this for any student that you directly teach for your entire lifetime of teaching. It’s like getting an unlimited supply of Music Kids Love®!

There’s a lot of imagination packed in these Short Sheets! My students really like “Biting Cold”, because we just came off a huge winter storm. It’s easy to relate the phrases to big strong wind and biting hail. Thanks, Wendy – for this great music:)

I used these with an adult beginner because they have a contemporary sound that is appealing. She really enjoyed them and even found the weather titles to be a metaphor for events in her life presently. For her, the pieces were a wonderful avenue to express herself emotionally. They are among her favorites!

“Silver Lining” is a great little piece for students who start exploring the bass clef notes. They can read it and for playing they memorize the position changes easily. Also the piece sounds great. Not only the student loved it but also his mom.
