In my new series, 'Box of Paints', is my 'Yellow'. Each of the six
elementary solos in this series explores the different emotions various
colors evoke and/or represent. Yellow is one of the 3 primary colors and is
cheerful, warm, bright, and promotes laughter. My students think of
sunshine.
The entire series (6 pieces) would make a grand recital program-especially
since they range from primary/early elem. to late elementary.
'Yellow' is a beginner piece in key of C beginning in A section with hands
around Middle C (but not in true
Middle C position) creating a hands-divided melody with a tiny bit of harmony
hands together. To be played 'cheerfully'.
First two 4-note phrases are around middle C, then repeats 8va.
Form in A B A coda. B section finds bouncing (staccato) broken octaves made
easy by hands answering (or repeating) first note in measure (LH) an octave
higher with RH. Back and forth they banter for 4 measures and repeat this
phrase an octave higher and softer. Dynamic variations throughout the piece
add artistry. Coda adds echo effect and ends with rit. and fermata (I tell my
students it's like the yellow sunset).
Touches: student learns legato in A section, staccato in B section.
Time signature in common time with rhythmic values: quarter, half, and
whole notes. Entire piece is over a 2-octave span (made easy!)
As in all of my solos in this series, 'Box of Paints', the piece is
designed to be open-ended encouraging and inspiring the student to think of
things they like in this color and compose their own lyrics, even composing
their own music about their favorite color.
