Mid-Elementary Level-Description: Sleepytime Serenade begins with the melody line in the LH which crosses over the RH for the softer measures. The B section goes to the key of B flat. Pedaling is used throughout. The piece ends in the upper register with an ascending pattern. Purpose: This piece gives students an opportunity to perfect the overlapping pedaling technique. Reading skills are enhanced as well as hand-crossings. Both RH and LH have ledger line notes between the staffs. There are a wide range of dynamic markings. A smooth legato sound will musically portray its title. Suggestions for Instruction: Practice the LH with pedal. Play the RH alone keeping fingers close to the keys and rockingwrists gently as you play the melodic intervals. Try to make the crescendo and decrescendo passages noticeable. The upper register ending is soft and relaxed. Key: F Major

Book 1-This collection includes Schubert’s Serenade Schumann’s Traumerei Yradier’s La Paloma Offenbach’s Barcarolle adapted from Tales of Hoffmann and Tchaikowsky’s Chanson Triste arranged by Charlie Kunz in his own style.The Kunz style favoured big many-layered chords in the right hand with a more rhythmic underpinning in the left. For instance the Kunz arrangement of Schumann’s Traumerei transforms a delicate right-hand line into a series of four-note chords which Kunz himself was able to play with grace and finesse. The arrangements tend to end with the thrill of a rallentando and high chord.Pianist Charlie Kunz had a long career as a solo pianist touring throughout Britainand appearing on television and radio. He had originally emigrated to the UK after World War I to work in a dance band but his distinctive and winning style soon led to a solo career performing his own versions of classical favourites.
