Candy Land
A suite of six short pieces, written with the intention of providing an interesting challenge for the advanced beginner. It uses the notes G, A, B, C, C# and D, so it can be played with just one hand.
Even in this limited range, there are some wonderful melodies, interesting and novel harmonies plus good counting and rhythmic learning opportunities for the recorder players, plus... a piano part is fairly easy but still interesting to play.
Performance options
Each piece can be used as a stand-alone work or played as a complete work.
Imagination options: Music for your Own Story
CANDY LAND was written to be played as a whole, with a loose narrative running though the work. This makes it ideal to be used as a creative and imagination tool for the teacher and students to create their own story around this music. Perhaps, about a trip to the magical world of “Candy Land”
The PREVIEW file is the first 30 seconds or so of each piece.

- The Gates of Candy Land

Notes:
The piano part is fairly easy but still interesting to play.
