From Caterpillar to Butterfly

You will find this piece early in Level 1 since the note reading is easy for this level. In addition, “From Caterpillar to Butterfly” contains a wide variety of instructions which make for both teachable moments and interesting sounds. These include pedaling, dynamics, a ritard-fermata-A-Tempo passage, a shift to an octave higher notated with 8va, and left hand crossing over right on the very last note. I hope you enjoy teaching and playing it as much as I enjoyed composing it.
