This beginner level arrangement is available from PlentyMusic as a free sheet music score. It is intended to be used in group music teaching contexts. The beginner arrangement has the melody played by the right hand accompanied by chords intended to be played by the left hand. There are graphics indicating the notes to be played in the chords and the melody notes have the letter names in the notehead. The realisation plays back at 84 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. Play-a-long accompaniments to encourage ensemble and solo playing are available emphasising either the melody or the chords. They are recorded at tempos of 84, 88 and 92 beats per minute and each is introduced with a click beat. If additional accompaniments are required please advise the PlentyMusic office. The sheet music download has suggested fingering and dynamics in place although the latter may only be relevant on touch sensitive instruments. Keyboard players should be aiming for a legato touch in their playing. In this beginner version ornamentation has been omitted but they are in place in the improver level sheet music score.

A fun piece often associated with Halloween. Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain in a beginner keyboard arrangement intended for use in group teaching contexts. The sheet music score is presented with helpful graphics. Three backing tracks are available playing at 110, 120, and 138 beats per minute. The 16 bar melody and accompaniments plays through 3 times with the tempo speeding up in the final 16 bar section. Players can contribute to the ensemble at their own level playing either I, 2, 4, 8 or 16 bars of the melody or one or more of the chords. There are plenty of graphics to assist novice players and group leaders can clarify issues such as octaves, fingering choices, how to play off-beat chords and other arising notation and practical issues. The music editor suggests that this can be a very successful group music making activity because of the familiarity of the melody. Do contact PlentyMusic if you would like to see more group music making resources on the website. Close
