THE SCIENTIST Thank goodness for Coldplay!
Student friendly--this piece has been a life saver for some of the first year guys, especially the ones who are super musical, but can't read music very well.
Great Resource for teachers. Don't punish beginning piano students if they are weak in "music reading skills".
Give them this arrangement, help them play it, and they will love you.
Technical solutions (hand positions and finger numbers) are presented here, making this a "how to play" edition for this subline music.
Includes all hand positions and finger numbers, so you can spend time making music, not correcting technique.
IMPORTANT: This does not have Guitar Chord Symbols. Those are PIANO HAND POSITIONS, to enable early elementary students to play this piece--especially if they are weak music readers (which of course they are).
scottnotes/V are not just sheet music, they are complete self-contained LESSON PLANS for the piano teacher.
Give it a try, give yourself a break, and give your student a shot at success.
HAND POSITIONS: v means "one skipped key between thumb and 2"
TRIAD INVERSION SYMBOLS: Three part symbol revolutionizes the approach to this vexing issue (same for either hand).
For example: Fv2 for the Right Hand
-F means F Position (lowest finger on F)
-v means "one skipped key between thumb and 2"
-2 is the finger/note to play in the middle. (Top and bottom notes/fingers 1 and 5 are easy to understand, and not a problem.)
These are the exact same sheets I use with my own piano students, based on my exrience with great kids who, I feel, deserve to have a POSITIVE and EFFECTIVE PIANO LESSON EXPERIENCE. What makes these sheets unique is that everything the student needs to know is printed on the page.
