Pilgrimage of Practice is a faith-integrating class piano curriculum based on stories of St. Columba of Iona. While envisioned for college level non-pianist music majors, it can be used in private instruction or as a source of recital materials. Volume I introduces improvisation, intervallic reading, major scales, playing by ear, and music in modes.

This Easy Piano version of Beethoven's famous "Fur Elise" is written for the early elementary level student with smaller hands. This arrangement has altered the difficult intervals from the original version without affecting the integrity of the song. A larger font is used for easy reading, while red font is used for fingering. Students will be able to play this song with confidence while having great fun learning it.

This song is also available in an Easy Piano Intermediate level arrangement for older students or more advanced younger students.
