Easy Piano - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.762347 Composed by Lori Cummings. Children,Classical,Folk,Instructional,Traditional. Score. 1 pages. Lori Cummings #4593241. Published by Lori Cummings (A0.762347). The Muskrat Waltz is inspired by the muskrats that were dancing in my pond behind my home yesterday.  This piece is written for late beginner/early elementary students.  It is a great introduction to waltz time, teaching students to really feel the waltz beat.  With the melody in the bass, it is a wonderful piece to showcase the left hand.  The melody is catchy, with an unexpected E flat near the end to catch the audience's ear.  Students will love this piece, recreating the dance of the muskrats.  This piece was written in C position, but uses a B flat and an E flat to enhance the melody in a couple of spots.  The font is larger for easy reading, with some colour added.  Fingering has not been added to this piece as I felt this would also be a great piece for the student to work with the teacher to figure out fingering, using their knowledge of fingering they have learned so far.
