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.
