Hot Cross Buns
no staff lines
First Pieces, A
This version of "Hot Cross Buns" provides an alternative to the one written with staff lines. Just as I frequently omit rests and slurs in beginning music, many piano methods start beginners reading their music without staff lines so as not to complicate the notation. In fact I have found that too many symbols--too much "ink on the page"--makes the music look harder to play than it actually is. In any case, you can now take your pick. Choose whichever one you like--with or without staff lines.
