Little Pianist. Piano Songbook for Kids

Most piano sheet music for kids has notes for practicing with the right hand only, which encourages the 'plinky-plonk' playing that children should avoid.

Alla i byn är rädda för riddar Roland, som är rysligt elak och stjäl allt guld från folket. Och de stackarna som inte har något guld eller några pengar tvingas istället arbeta hårt i hans riddarborg. Men den modige lille Rolf tröttnar på att slita och släpa för den rike riddaren och bestämmer sig en natt för att fly. Ur askan i elden Rolf har riktig otur! Inne i den djupaste skogen blir han tillfångatagen av rövare, som naturligtvis är glada för sin fina fångst. Fast som tur är Rolf inte bara modig, utan också smart! Han vet exakt vad det är som rövarna verkligen vill ha guld! och dessutom vet han precis var de var de kan hitta det Många förskolebarn kommer att ryckas med i den fartfyllda och lagom läskiga berättelsen om Rolf och den ryslige riddar Roland. Ute Krause laddar på ett fenomenalt sätt varje mening och vartenda pennstreck i sin underhållande berättelse med både humor och känsla.
