Here’s an audience pleaser that will surprise everyone! Students have been begging me to write another piece with “extra-musical” sounds like knocking or screaming like are in “Candy Nabber” and “A Scream on Halloween.” So, here’s a brand new piece with fun antics for the mid-elementary student!
You Don’t Scare Me Now!
“You Don’t Scare Me Now” will be a fun, loud surprise for everyone at the fall recital! The piece starts out creepy and slow, then picks up with a fun, easy syncopated melody with knocks, taps, snaps, and REALLY LOUD sound on the piano!
But Wait!
The monster is invited to make the loudest noise that it can because “You don’t scare me now, you don’t scare me now!…I can make a bigger noise than you!” Students then play an amazing glissando (with the help of an index card) that wows the audience at the end!
Details:
Level: Mid-elementary -quarter, halves, wholes, ties, syncopation, extra-musical sounds
Pages: 6 pages, 3 pages of music, cover included!
Style: Creepy, mischievous
Awesome! That looks like such a fun song.
I love your video! : )
Would you (teacher) or the student sing the words to the song during a recital??
Great question, Sandra! Yes, you certainly could do that, but some students just read the lyrics to the audience before they play the piece and they audience then understands what is happening just fine. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
