The Baby Shark Etudes: 13 Progressive Studies for Piano Based on the Song by Pinkfong (May 2020)

Who says pop songs can’t be educational? As an end-of-the-year gift for my elementary students, I created The Baby Shark Etudes for them to learn how to play the famous song by Pinkfong, while reviewing some of the concepts learned throughout the year. Influenced by Clark’s The Music Tree and Schaum’s Fingerpower Series, The Baby Shark Etudes feature varying finger-combinations for dexterity, transposition to D and E majors, and introduce harmonization with primary chords I, IV, and V7. Pages include fun graphics and tips from Shark and Turtle Friends.

Instructional videos and music are available upon request.
