Little Prelude in A minor

Ludvig Schytte

About this piece
This piece is a gem for elementary-level students who are beginning to move beyond fixed hand positions. Because both hands play the same notes, the challenge of shifting up and down the keyboard is reduced, allowing students to focus instead on sound control, wrist flexibility, and overall coordination.
Is this your next piece?
You might enjoy this if you're a beginner who likes relaxing, dreamy pieces.
