Rote Pieces

Sometimes I use rote to teach in the early grades in addition to teaching music reading. This enables students to play pieces that are a little more challenging.

I am showing the links here to video lessons by grade level. Please note that these videos are just for the notes, rhythm, and fingering - not dynamics or character. Check back often for more selections.
