‘A Celtic Blessing’ – Sheet Music & Improvisation - Early Advanced Ed.

Original Sheet Music - With an Improvisation/Composition project!
~ ADVANCED Edition ~

• With a lyrical melodic line, it is set in the Aeolian mode, for a beautiful Celtic atmosphere
• The overall form is ternary form, with an introduction and coda
• The improvisation sections are made very accessible, with an outline and structure included, making it ‘failsafe’ while still encouraging and inspiring creativity – The harmonic framework and improvisation suggestions make it easy for students to succeed at and enjoy improvising
• Extend the improvisation component into a composition project and have students notate it on the staff provided, expanding their aural and theory skills
• Fingerings for right and left hands are included
• Beautiful cover art, aimed to inspire students

This piece is in ternary form.  Part A contains a piano solo set to a traditional Irish Blessing, and the middle section focuses on improvising a melody over a given bass line, with part A then returning on the last page.  There is also an introduction and coda, allowing a little more improvisation.

This version is for early advanced students - Can be used along with the matching 'Intermediate' version, as a ‘multi-level piece’ for intermediate to early advanced piano group classes - Find the 'INTERMEDIATE' edition here

What is the difference between the two versions?  The intermediate version uses a simple but satisfying left hand accompaniment pattern throughout, allowing students to concentrate on improvising freely with their right hand, while the early advanced version fills out the left hand accompaniment with added notes, providing more challenge and more harmonic ‘colour’.  The two versions can work well together.  You can also use the intermediate version first to let the student settle in with improvising, and then move them on to the harder version to extend their left hand capabilities.

Studio Licenced:  Fantastic value as you can use them for as many students as you directly teach, for your whole teaching career!
