This No Shoes piece expresses the thoughts of so many kids in the summertime! As a matter of fact, this piece was composed as a request from some parents of a ComposeCreate teacher who played the new “I Hate to Wear a Coat” piece for an entire family:
When I finished playing, they were all (including Mom and Dad) cheering for it! ‘What a great piece they said!’ But since we live in Florida, I’ve had several parents and kids ask for I Hate to Wear Shoes!
And so, “No Shoes” was born! Easy hand positions, repeated notes (so it sounds driving in some places), and an interesting whole tone contrasting B section make this piece super fun to play! You might have to explain what “toe jam” is though. Kids will love knowing what that is!
Joette Tomblin –
I love your new song! I put a little teaser up on top of my piano….I sent you a picture!
I loved watching my students come in and smile when they saw your song title. Quite a few of them were like, “Miss Joette, I have to know what this is!!” They all loved it!!
