Autumn Leaves are Falling Down! - A Studio-Licensed Pre-Reading Song
Who’s it for: Pre-reading students who know the names of white keys.
What’s inside: quarters, half notes, dotted half notes. White keys.
Challenges: Right hand thumb is on D, which can be a good thing!
Delight your pre-readers with this super easy and attainable solo. Most children know the tune to “London Bridge”. I’ve simplified the rhythm, but if kids want to play it with the dotted rhythm, I would let them go ahead!
Use this solo to reinforce simple rhythms and white keys, while having fun with a seasonal song. “Autumn Leaves” is perfect for those students who need a little extra practice, and don’t necessarily want a scary song. Also works well for the first part of November, right after Halloween.
