Morning on the Mountain
Elizabeth Swift
This is a perfect piece to help your students begin working on this technique because it is fairly simple, easy to get off the page, and rewarding to hear as the notes ring with the help of the damper pedal. Your students will enjoy the big sounds they'll be making!
