Easy Piano - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.762355 Composed by Lori Cummings. Children,Comedy,Contest,Festival,Folk,Instructional. Score. 1 pages. Lori Cummings #4766553. Published by Lori Cummings (A0.762355). Thumbs Up for Ice Cream! is a fun exercise for students to use to learn to differentiate between using the Treble Clef Thumb and the Bass Clef Thumb for Middle C. The entire song is written on Middle C, using half notes and quarter notes. When I teach this song, I make it into a game with my students. On half notes they say ice cream to feel the 2 beats and on quarter notes they say scoop. Once they master the song using the correct rhythm words and thumbs, they then have to challenge the members of their family to do it. The kids love getting their family members and sometimes even their friends to do it. This is a simple song, but packed full of fun!
