Everywhere We Go
First Pieces, B
Cheer leaders chant it at college games, scout groups sing it around the campfire and drill sargents call it as a cadence for marching soldiers. "Everywhere We Go" is a rhythmic chant which many a piano student will recognize and want to play.
In the First Pieces level it is a two handed piece in a not-quite Thumbs Share C hand position. Unlike in Thumbs Share C, fingers 2 and 3 of the left hand play A and G respectively instead of B and A. This positioning provides more room for the thumbs.
I placed "Everywhere We Go" as the very first piece in Level 2. This placement is because it perfectly introduces second inversion chords, a kind of chord played in many Level 2 pieces, including in the very next piece, "Oh Susanna". (Some Music Theory: In a second inverion chord the note which is usually a fifth above is moved to the bottom. So for an F chord, the C becomes the lowest note.)
